Heme iron can be naturally found from animal sources including fish, meat, and poultry. And non-heme iron comes from plant sources including dried beans, lentils, peas, some fruits and vegetables. Proferrin can be taken with or without food. It is available as an OTC item and no prescription is required to buy Proferrin. Follow the instructions on the label.
