The Mineral Deficiency

  • Iron

  • IRON is a mineral that is essential in its role in the human body. It helps in the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen throughout the body. It is also important in the metabolism of energy, immune function, and cognitive development. IRON deficiency can lead to anemia, fatigue, weakness, and impaired brain function.

    The daily recommended intake of IRON varies depending on age, gender, and health status. The recommended intake for adults is:

    – Men: 8 mg/day
    – Women (ages 19-50): 18 mg/day
    – Women (over age 50): 8 mg/day
    – Pregnant women: 27 mg/day

    NOTE: Vegetarians and vegans may need up to 1.8 times more IRON per day than non-vegetarians due to the lower bioavailability of IRON from plant-based foods. Consult a healthcare professional to determine your individual IRON needs.
