Iron Deficiency Symptoms, Causes How To Treat
It Iron is a powerful mineral, and one that can
lead to feelings of fatigue if you arent getting
enough. While iron can be found in lots of foods,
particularly red meat, an increasingly vegetarian
and vegan diet is leading many to consider how
they can get enough to avoid an iron deficiency.

What Is Iron? In this instance, were not
talking about the tool used to get wrinkles out
of clothes, rather the mineral which is needed to
create red blood cells. Red blood cells, also
known as erythrocytes, are used to transport
oxygen around the body, along with other
nutrients. A side effect of Iron bonding with
oxygen is that it turns blood red.

Adults Need Between 8.7mg And 14.8mg Of Iron Per
Day Not everyone needs the same amount of every
vitamin or mineral. Iron is unique in some ways
because the amount needed will in particular be
different between people based on whether or not
they are menstruating, though this is not the
only factor that will change iron needs. It is
also dependent on other conditions, such as if
you are pregnant or breastfeeding or on your
lifestyle, a more active person, for example,
will need more of certain nutrients to support
their busy bodies.

Recommendations from the NHS say that a daily
dose of iron should be 8.7 mg for men over
18 This applies to non-menstruators too, such as
women who have gone through menopause  which
typically occurs between 45 and 55 years of
age. 14.8 mg a day for women aged 19 to 50 This
applies to menstruators of any gender, with the
increased amount of iron a direct result of blood
loss from periods. From 1.7mg for babies,
increasing as a child grows  amounts vary in the
first few months, and years of a childs life.
