Folate/B12
Under the section Medical Uses the phrase "such as vitamin B12/folate deficiency" is either confusing or wrong. B12 is not folate. Folate is B6. I do not have a background in this subject so I cannot correct or clarify it (i.e. I don't know if it is B12, B6 or both). 124.171.52.215 (talk) 09:29, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Heme Iron Polypeptide = HIP seems like a scam, so Wikipedia article should be corrected: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25953602 This search yielded three clinical studies. The safety and efficacy of HIP was evaluated in a total of 161 subjects with anaemia and various stages of CKD. HIP was consistently associated with lower ferritin values when compared with traditional iron supplementation.

Moreover, not approved by EFSA in Europe for several reasons, so HIP is not sold in Europe. http://www.efsa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/scientific_output/files/main_documents/1585.pdf

Some oral preparations
Copy paste from here: http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2815%2960865-0/fulltext#cesec80

4 common iron preparations are available: ferrous sulphate, ferrous sulphate exsiccated, ferrous gluconate, and ferrous fumarate. No one compound seems better than the others.

Iron chelates have also been assessed. Inulin, a natural fructose polymer, can be chelated with iron to enhance iron absorption within the colon. Similar results were reported for bisglycinate iron and liposomal iron.

Organisation
The page could be organised better. The types and distinction between the iron salts are not explained. I also heard of metallic iron addition in processed food products. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Falsht (talk • contribs) 00:16, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Cast iron as a source of nutritional iron
We don't seem to cover this issue well in any one article and I've received a suggestion and some some sources here: Talk:Lucky iron fish. Please use them in this article if it's a good idea. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 10:15, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
