Iron

Iron supplements provide an essential mineral involved in the production of red blood cells and the transport of oxygen throughout the body. Iron plays an important role in normal energy metabolism and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Iron is naturally found in foods such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, lentils and fortified cereals. Some people choose to supplement their intake where dietary intake may vary.

The Role of Iron

Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen around the body.

Iron also contributes to normal cognitive function and supports the normal function of the immune system.

Iron Supplement Types

Iron supplements are available in a range of forms including iron bisglycinate, iron fumarate and iron sulphate. Many supplements also include supporting nutrients such as vitamin C, which helps increase iron absorption.

Further information about iron and its role in nutrition can be found in the NHS iron guide.
