Аннотация

The present paper examines the biochemical mechanisms related to hemoglobin formation and iron metabolism under the influence of dietary supplementation with whey powder and chitosan. Scientific evidence is analyzed to assess how these bioactive components improve heme synthesis, enhance iron absorption, support ferritin-based storage, regulate oxidative stress and increase erythropoietic activity. Lactoferrin, cysteine and glycine, present in whey, are shown to contribute to intestinal iron uptake, enterocyte transport and stabilization of erythrocyte membranes by promoting antioxidant defense. The findings demonstrate that the combination of whey powder and chitosan may serve as an effective dietary intervention for preventing iron-deficiency anemia and activating the hematopoietic system.
