Uses and synthesis of Hematin powder

Hematin powder is derived from animal sources. Red meat and offal, in particular, contain high amounts of heme iron. In addition, foods such as clams, oysters, mussels, venison, and lamb chops all contain healthy amounts of heme iron (2-23 mg). Red meat is not only an excellent source of heme iron, but also a source of high-quality protein. The best source of Hematin is red meat because it contains blood proteins and hemoglobin. The name "heme iron" comes from the heme protein attached to a single iron atom.
