WHAT IS IRON GOOD FOR?

Iron is a trace element essential for the human body.

It is involved in many vital functions such as the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and organs of the body, as well as the functioning of the brain and the immune system. In children in particular, its deficiency has been associated with an adverse effect on behavior and psychomotor and cognitive development.

Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency and is responsible for the most common form of anemia, iron deficiency anemia.

It mainly affects women of childbearing age due to increased blood loss during menstruation, but also children who have increased needs due to growth.

According to a study conducted in Greece...

In a study involving about 3,000 children, 17% of children aged 6 months to 16 years had iron deficiency with or without anemia, while in obese children and children under 2 years of age the percentage was 30% and 50% respectively.

Iron deficiency is treated with oral iron supplements.

However, these are often accompanied by adverse effects from the gastrointestinal tract and difficulties in administration (e.g. interaction with food, ingestion on an empty stomach, metallic taste).
