Hemin is a ferric compound acknowledged as a biologic iron source of high absorptivity and good effect for preventing and curing iron deficiency anemia in modern medicine. Hemin has no ferric smell. It does not stimulate stomach or intestines and has no toxicity or side effect. Even pregnant women and children are safe to take the medicine. Moreover, Hemin is directly absorbed by intestinal mucosa, with a high absorptivity more than 25%. Haemoglobin content and erythrocyte quantity in the body can be increased within a short time after taking this medicine so that anemia is improved quickly. Now iron-supplement products with hemin authorized by Ministry of Health are in capsule, tablet and oral liquid. So hemin is the preferred material for natural iron-supplement food, drug and health products.
Heme is the main stable structure of hemoglobin molecule. Heme in human body consists of four subunits, two alpha subunits and two beta subunits. The four subunits of heme in electrolyte solution similar to human environment can be assembled into the form of alpha 2 beta 2 automatically.
FUNCTION
1. Hematin is protoporphyrin IX containing a ferric iron (Fe3+) ion with a coordinating chloride ligand;
2. Chemically, hemin differs from the related heme-compound hematin chiefly in that the coordinating ion is a chloride ion in hemin, whereas the coordinating ion is an hydroxide ion in hematin.The iron ion in haem is ferrous (Fe2+), whereas it is ferric (Fe3+) in both hemin and hematin;
3. Hemin is endogenously produced in the human body, for example during the turnover of old red blood cells. It can form inappropriately as a result of hemolysis or vascular injury.
4. A lyophilised form of hemin is used as a pharmacological agent in certain cases for the treatment of porphyria attacks, particularly in acute intermittent porphyria. Administration of hemin can reduce haem deficits in such patients, thereby suppressing the activity of delta-amino-levulinic acid synthase (a key enzyme in the synthesis of the porphyrins) by biochemical feedback, which in turn reduces the production of porphyrins and of the toxic precursors of haem. In such pharmacological contexts, hemin is typically formulated with human albumin prior to administration by a medical professional, to reduce the risk of phlebitis and to stabilise the compound, which is potentially reactive if allowed to circulate in free-form.
APPLICATION
1. Hematin is Applied to Nutritional supplements products;
2.Hematin is Applied to Food additives;
3.Hematin is Applied to Pharma product for anti-tumor and anti-anemic;
4. Hematin is Applied to cosmetics products.
Why is Hematin important? What's the difference?
In developed countries where meat is an important constituent of the diet, much of the dietary iron is in the Hematin form as hemoglobin and myoglobin. Hematin is absorbed more efficiently than inorganic iron by the human intestine. Thus, it is important to know how the dose of heme-iron affects iron absorption.
