Iron—essential for blood formation, oxygen transport, and muscle function
Iron is an essential trace element required to maintain the body’s functions (including those of the immune system). Iron plays a key role in the formation of hemoglobin, the red blood pigment. Hemoglobin performs the vital function of transporting oxygen throughout our body. Iron is also found in myoglobin, which serves as an oxygen store for muscles.
Iron is supplied to the body through food. It is found primarily in red meat, fish, whole grains, spinach, peas, black salsify, quinoa, millet, amaranth, and wheat bran. On average, women need to consume more iron (~15 mg/day) than men (~10 mg/day).
Iron Deficiency—The Cause of Numerous Ailments
Iron deficiency can lead to anemia, a weakened immune system, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, and fatigue. Physical symptoms such as brittle nails and hair loss may also occur. These deficiency symptoms are more common in women, as they regularly lose iron from their bodies through menstruation. Vegetarians and vegans are also frequently iron deficient.
