What is iron and what effect does it have?
Iron is a vital trace element for the body and an important component of hemoglobin, the protein that transports oxygen from the lungs to all tissues of the body. Iron is therefore required for cell formation, especially for cell respiration.
The following further statements on the effect of iron in the body have been scientifically proven:
- Iron contributes to normal cognitive function
- Iron contributes to normal energy metabolism
- Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin
- Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body
- Iron contributes to the normal function of the immune system
- Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- Iron has a role in the process of cell division
- Iron contributes to the normal cognitive development of children
In which foods does iron occur naturally?
Iron is found in both animal and plant foods:
- Venison, deer, lamb, duck breast
- Legumes, green vegetables, nuts & seeds [1]
However, the iron from animal products can be better absorbed by the body. The body can absorb over 20 % of iron. From plant foods it is only up to 5 %, which means that iron-containing animal foods have a higher bioavailability.
Why should you buy Solgar Gentle Iron?
The risk of iron deficiency is increased in infants, young children, growing adolescents, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and those on a vegan or vegetarian diet. [2]
An adequate intake of iron is particularly important during pregnancy . The body needs double the amount of iron during pregnancy, as the placenta and uterus must also be supplied with iron. The foetus itself also builds up its own iron stores, which must be supplied.[2 ] The German Nutrition Society recommends a daily intake of 30 mg iron[3].
If an iron deficiency is detected and after consulting a doctor, it may be useful to take iron supplements in addition to your diet.
In addition to Solgar Gentle Iron with 90 vegan capsules, you can also find Gentle Iron with 180 vegan capsules in our store.
