We know from study 2A that iron in ferrous bisglycinate is less well absorbed than is ferrous sulfate when given alone. It may be assumed that ferrous bisglycinate is partly dissociated and that an unknown, but possibly considerable, amount of iron is released into the nonheme-iron pool (maize-meal pool). An absolute condition in these kinds of tracer studies is to know the specific activity of the iron.
