Iron deficiency, also known as anaemia, is extremely common, especially among women and therefore iron supplements are extremely important for many to maintain a balanced diet and overall wellness. Having enough iron is essential for a huge amount of functions in the body so ensuring that your iron levels are sufficient is vital.
Within the body, iron is used to create nutrients called haemoglobin and myoglobin. Haemoglobin is a vital protein within red blood cells that helps to carry oxygen from the lungs to different areas of the body and myoglobin is a protein that helps to provide oxygen to muscles to allow for proper muscle function.
Low amounts of iron can have some very unpleasant side effects such as tiredness, frequent illnesses, shortness of breath, headaches, weakness and more. Iron deficiency anaemia is particularly prevalent among pregnant and breastfeeding women with 23% of pregnant women suffering from a lack of iron.
Reduces fatigue & tiredness - When you have lower levels of iron your body cannot produce enough haemoglobin, meaning that your cells are not able to get all the oxygen that they need. This can often leave you tired and fatigued. However, iron supplements help your body to produce haemoglobin and therefore get the correct amount of oxygen to the cells and leave you more energised.
Helps Support Immune System - Having an iron deficiency can negatively affect your body's first line of defence which is non-specific immunity. Having sufficient iron levels will help not only allow your immune system to work properly but to also have an effective defence against serious diseases.
Helps normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin function - Iron’s job within the body is to help produce haemoglobin which is a protein within the body that helps red blood cells transport oxygen throughout the body.
Improves focus - Iron is essential to improving focus as it is essential to achieving healthy cognitive function. This is because it helps the production of red blood cells which help to transport oxygen to areas of the body such as the brain. This, therefore, increases your cognitive health and therefore improves focus.
Aids a healthy pregnancy - During pregnancy the volume of blood within your body increases. Therefore you need higher levels of iron to help the oxygen transport around the body more efficiently and effectively. Your body needs to supply oxygen to the baby and therefore needs more iron to do so.
