Abstract: The invention comprises a process and composition relating to the use of an artificial blood that is a pharmaceutically acceptable solution of an iron amino acid chelate or a polymerized amino acid chelate. The composition is directed to an artificial blood composition that is free or substantially free of hemoglobin made from one or more amino acids known to be bound to the hemoglobin molecule but free of hemoglobin for purposes of this invention. The amino acids are chelated with iron (ferrous or ferric), oxygenated, and used as an artificial blood replacement for whole blood or as a component of an artificial blood composition. The iron component of the amino acid chelate is oxygenated to enable the chelate to carry oxygen throughout the body. To form a solution suitable for transfusion, the oxygen-bearing iron chelate of the amino acid is dissolved, to the extent necessary, preferably in an isotonic saline solution.
