Product Description
Iron has a central role in transporting oxygen to important tissues throughout the body. It is also needed for the formation and function of hemoglobin in red blood cells and myoglobin in muscle cells, which are necessary for the transportation of oxygen. Iron helps prevent iron-deficiency anemia, a condition in which red blood cells are not able to carry enough oxygen to meet the bodys needs. It is the most common deficiency in the United States and the most common cause of anemia in the U.S., especially among children and women during their childbearing years (Mahan & Stump, 2008). Symptoms of anemia include fatigue, poor concentration, and an increase in colds and infections, so with that said, it is critical that iron needs are met.
In addition, iron helps strengthen the immune system and aids in the manufacturing of collagen, a protein that builds connective tissues. Also, , a number of enzymes necessary for body processes require adequate iron, such as those that regulate the production of neurotransmitters-- serotonin and dopamine--which are brain chemicals that influence mood and behavior. Iron is recommended to be part of a daily regimen for Womens Health, Prenatal. |
