What is the key function of iron and why do I need extra iron? Iron is an essential mineral needed for healthy red blood cells because it helps form haemoglobin, a special protein that carries oxygen to tissues throughout the body.

There are two forms of dietary iron: haem iron, found in animal products; and non-haem iron, found in plant sources. Haem iron can be found in liver, lean red meat, chicken, fish,shellfish and organ meats. Non-haem iron can be found in green leafy vegetables, beetroot, tofu, fruit, dried fruit, nuts and legumes.

Extra iron may be required because of low dietary intakes, a vegetarian diet, pregnancy and breastfeeding, heavy menstruation, decreased stomach acidity, aging, or digestive and intestinal malabsorption conditions. Teenagers and children may also need more iron due to fussy or inadequate eating patterns.

What are common symptoms of an iron deficiency? Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world.1 Common symptoms include tiring easily, fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, poor immunity, impaired cognition and mood disturbances.

How long do I need to take Organic Iron Plus Vitamin C? Iron deficiency responds to supplementation within 2 weeks; however 6-12 months may be required to build up the body’s iron stores. Iron status should be tested before taking iron tablets. Only supplement when recommended by your healthcare professional.
