Iron

The Trace mineral, iron, performs many roles in the human body. In our red blood cells, iron is required to form haemoglobin which transports oxygen to every cell in our body increasing energy levels. Iron, therefore, contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also helps metabolize proteins, boosts our immunity, and helps maintain brain and endocrine (hormonal) function.

Millions in the UK suffer from mild anaemia caused by an inadequate intake of nutrients such as iron, folate, and Vitamin B12. Iron deficiency leads to anaemia and it is regarded as the most common nutritional deficiency in the UK. Iron deficiency is the result of an unhealthy refined diet, regular intake of soda, coffee, black and green tea, and other factors including poor absorption and heavy menstruation.

Symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia may include the following: fatigue, weakness, pale skin, tingling sensation in the legs, poor memory, dizziness, hair loss, tongue swelling or soreness, depression, anxiety, and breathlessness.
