Eggs are a useful source of iron, with 1mg per medium egg, and a two egg-meal contributes between 14-23% of an adult's daily iron requirement [4].

So a glass of orange juice with a breakfast egg, or an omelette and salad, could be on the menu for the millions of people in the UK suffering from low iron levels. Iron deficiency is a relatively common nutritional disorder - it is estimated that about 8% of women in the UK have anaemia, the clinical symptom of iron deficiency, and many more have low iron stores [1]. Women of child-bearing age are most at risk, especially when pregnant. Survey data also indicate that about a quarter of women have a low iron intake [2] and that the diets of young women are particularly low in iron, with 50% of 15-18 year olds having intakes below the lower reference nutrient intake (LRNI), the amount considered as inadequate [3]. Eggs are a useful source of iron, with 1mg per medium egg, and a two egg-meal contributes between 14-23% of an adult’s daily iron requirement [4]. However there has previously been uncertainty about the bioavailability - the degree to which a nutrient is available to the body - of the iron. Using an in vitro technique, modified from the method used to screen iron availability in food crops [5], the study at the University of East Anglia, illustrated in a poster today at the first BBSRC Diet and Health Industry Research Club Dissemination meeting [6], measured iron availability in hard boiled eggs with and without foods containing vitamin C - orange juice or salad (lettuce, tomato and red pepper) - in ratios that would be found in a meal, using a Caco-2 cell model system that predicts how cells in the intestine will respond. Meals were prepared and put through a process to simulate digestion in the gut, and iron uptake into the cells was measured. When mixed with orange juice or salad, iron uptake from eggs was significantly increased.
