How the calculation works

This heme vs non heme iron calculator adds the two amounts you enter to find total iron, then shows how much of that total is heme and non-heme iron.

The comparison is a simple amount-and-percentage view for Iron Tracker. It does not estimate absorption or make a health assessment.

Percentage split = (form amount ÷ total iron) × 100

Enter positive iron amounts in milligrams. A single reading is not a diagnosis, and a clinician decides what any health result means for you.

What does this calculator compare?

It compares the heme iron and non-heme iron amounts you enter, adds them for total iron, and calculates each form's percentage of that total.

What units should I enter?

Enter both amounts in milligrams (mg). Both fields must contain finite numbers greater than zero.

Does the split predict absorption?

No. The result is only an amount and percentage comparison. It does not estimate absorption or provide medical advice.

Are my values saved?

No. The calculation runs in your browser, and this tool does not save the values you enter.

Is this a diagnosis?

No. A single reading is not a diagnosis. A clinician decides how dietary or laboratory information should be interpreted.
