- Iron is an essential mineral and an important component of proteins involved in oxygen transport and metabolism
- Iron is a mineral that the body needs to produce red blood cells
- Almost two thirds of the iron in your body is found in hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to your body’s tissues
- About 15% of your body’s iron is stored for future Nutrition Planary needs, while the rest stores in your tissues and helps with body function
- When the body lacks iron, it cannot produce the number of red blood cells needed to keep you in good health; this condition is called iron deficiency (iron shortage) or iron-deficiency anemia
- Correct iron levels are essential for energy production and manufacturing of B vitamins within the body
- Although many people in North America get enough iron from their Nutrition Plan, some must take additional amounts to meet their needs
- For example, iron is sometimes lost with slow or small amounts of bleeding in the body that you would not be aware of and which can only be detected by a professional
- Your health-wellness-care practitioner can determine if you have an iron deficiency, what is causing the deficiency, and if an iron supplement is necessary
- Lack of iron may lead to unusual tiredness, shortness of breath, a decrease in physical performance, and learning problems in children and adults, and may increase your chance of frequent infection
- Some conditions may increase your need for iron; these include bleeding problems, burns, hemodialysis, intestinal diseases, stomach problems, stomach removal, and use of medicines to increase your red blood-cell count
- Inorganic iron is frequently associated with stomach upsets
- However, complexing iron to an organic molecule such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C) makes it a highly bioavailable form of iron complex suitable for people who are generally sensitive to iron supplementation
- Most mineral ascorbates have an extremely high absorption rate, and therefore need lower amounts for effectiveness
- In addition, infants, especially those receiving breast milk or low-iron formulas, may need additional iron
- Increased need for iron supplements should be determined by your health-wellness-care practitioner
