Preventing Iron Deficiency Anemia
Iron produces hemoglobin in red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body. Iron deficiency can cause anemia, which reduces the number of red blood cells available to transport oxygen to the body's tissues.
Boosting Energy Levels
Iron plays a key role in the production of ATP, the molecule that provides energy to the body's cells. Iron deficiency can lead to fatigue and low energy levels.
Supporting Brain Function
Iron is important for the development and function of the brain. Iron deficiency can lead to cognitive problems, including poor memory and difficulty concentrating.
