Iron 25mg Vitals
Iron is one of the most common elements on earth and is essential to most life forms including humans. It does include part of hemoglobin in red blood cells making it a major role in oxygen transport in the body.
In addition, iron is a component of several enzymes such as catalase and cytochrome. These enzymes have a role in the regulation of metabolism. Cells need iron for the production of DNA and thus iron supports normal growth and development. Iron is also essential for the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin.
Iron in the diet comes mainly in red meat, fish and poultry. Another, less well-absorbed form of iron is found in eg beans, dried fruits, cereals and leafy vegetables. An iron deficiency is common, especially in certain risk groups such as pregnant women, growing children, menstruating women, vegetarians and athletes.
