Why do you care about how effectively the iron in iron supplements gets absorbed? The iron that’s not absorbed just gets flashed out. Can’t you just supplement more to get what you need?
I’m replying to a post that said they lacked energy despite iron supplementation. Maybe it wasn’t iron deficiency, or maybe it could have been solved by raising the supplement dose, I don’t know, but if it was iron deficiency and the supplements weren’t helping then it’s good to know you can get iron in the same form as in meat from Impossible burgers.
