Description:
Anaemia caused by lack of iron in the diet is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the Western World. The Benefits of Iron with Ester C Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid: Anaemia/Iron deficiency â€" low levels of iron in the blood (anaemia) and tissues can result in lethargy, shortness of breath, pallor and poor resistance to infection and are countered by iron supplements. Properties:Iron is needed for haemoglobin, myoglobin and cytochromes. Haemoglobin transports oxygen to the muscles where it is stored by myoglobin until required. Inside cells, cytochromes take over oxygen transport. When iron is scarce, the oxygen supply is restricted and lack of energy and tiredness results. Because it is required to produce myoglobin and the energy-rich chemical ATP (the bodyâ€s fuel), it is possible that a lack of iron can lead to fatigue even when the haemoglobin levels are apparently normal. Iron is involved in normal brain development and immune function and in the production of DNA which is vital for the correct development and function of cells and tissues. It is involved in the synthesis of collagen, necessary for healthy connective tissue, and in the production of the chemical messengers serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine.
