Heme iron, specifically in animals, is in fact from blood. Heme being short for hemoglobin which is the protein in red blood cells that transfers oxygen around the body (both for humans and most non-human animals). Being able to make that from precision fermentation is pretty cool
That’s not true. It’s a little less bioavaliable, but hardly “almost not” and the bioavaliable improves with more Vitamin C (which you also get from plants)

I was joking about being a vampire and that being blood on Discord, I didn’t know I was twlling the truth 😭
There is also plenty of non-heme iron, to be fair, which is not from blood. Plants have tons of it from the ground and such
Yeah, but it’s barely metabolized by our organism, it’s almost not bioavailable for humans.
