Essential Iron..

Iron is an essential nutrient for your body, which you typically get from your food. It is needed for your mental and physical health and to keep your energy levels up.

Iron is present in a substance called haemoglobin, which is found in red blood cells. Haemoglobin carries oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the rest of the body. This aids your concentration, physical energy and immune system.

What is iron deficiency..

If the iron levels in your body are low you can become iron deficient this is the most common nutrient deficiency in the world. In women iron deficiency can be problematic due to heavy menstrual periods and is following pregnancy.

Over time, iron deficiency can mean that your body makes fewer healthy red blood cells, a condition know as Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA). There are many symptoms of iron deficiency anemia, however one of the main signs is feeling fatigued or exhausted because your blood is less able to transport oxygen around your body.

If iron deficiency is not treated there can be long-term consequences for your health. Fatigue and other symptoms of iron deficiency can also adversely affect your quality of life and reduce your ability to concentrate and be productive at work.
