Extract

1. The availability of iron in three herb species has been investigated, using the rat as the experimental animal.

2. Two procedures were employed, namely, the increase in blood haemoglobin concentration, and the gain in total grama of haemoglobin, by nutritionally anaemic rats.

3. Inorganic iron, as ferric chloride, was shown to be significantly more available than the iron contained in the three herbs.
