Research in this area was carried out by scientists from Chalmers Technical University. They found that iron citrate and ferric iron in chelated form can cause the development of colon cancer. These compounds stimulate the formation of amphiregulin, a protein whose level is often increased in malignant tumors of the intestine. But iron sulfate does not have this effect.
As a result, scientists recommended people not to abuse iron and give preference to natural products that contain this trace element. In particular, it is worth eating more vegetables, fish, meat and whole grains.
