Abstract
D-Sorbitol is capable of enhancing significantly the absorption of iron in iron-depleted as well as in normal rats administered low levels of iron. Above a critical minimal level of D-sorbitol, the absorption of iron is a direct function of the amount of D-sorbitol orally administered with the iron. The possible mechanisms by which sorbitol and carbohydrate derivatives affect absorption are discussed.Keywords
