Why is iron important?
According to the World Health Organization, iron deficiency is the most common and widespread nutritional disorder in the world. Iron is a component of a number of proteins involved in vital biochemical reactions in the body such as myoglobin, cytochromes and enzymes. Iron is required for haemoglobin formation, the protein in red blood cell that carries oxygen to body tissues for providing energy for daily life.
Research has shown that declining iron stores are responsible for numerous health concerns such as:
- Decreased fertility has been linked to low iron stores
- Iron Deficiency Anaemia
- Decreased immunity and hence increased frequency of infection
- Before and during pregnancy low iron can be responsible for improper placenta development and occurrences of pre-term & low birth weight babies.
Some of the symptoms of iron deficiency are:
- Fatigue, general lack of energy and breathlessness
- Decreased ability to concentrate
- Decreased endurance during exercise
- Brittle hair and nails
- Decreased immune function, which increases susceptibility to infection
- Decreased appetite
- Feeling faint
- Cold hands and feet Iron deficiency (pre-anaemia) and anaemia have also been linked to PMS, depression, decreased fertility and complications in pregnancy.
Who can benefit from supplementing with iron?
* Toddlers & school-aged children, iron deficiency can cause poor learning, memory and behavioral problems as well as developmental delay
* From the ages of around 15 to 55, the menstrual cycle, pregnancy & lactation increase the need for iron.
* Athletes and those who exercise regularly lose iron through sweat & the digestive tract, putting them at risk for deficiency and decreased endurance.
* Vegetarians are at higher risk of developing iron deficiency and so are those who eat little red meat
