19 Summary Iron bioavailability is dictated by its chemical speciation in the food but also in the gut lumen may be an important iron source in our diet and may not be absorbed through the previously described pathways Biofortification strategies rely on understanding natural non-haem iron. What are the nutritionally relevant iron compounds in our diet? Should we be building fortificant and supplemental iron with more relevance to dietary iron? 19
