| Iron: The Energy Nutrient
Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient
deficiencies worldwide, because iron is difficult to get and absorb
in the proper amount from diet alone. At certain times your body
needs significantly more because of rapid growth (during adolescence),
pregnancy, breast-feeding, or at times when there are very low
levels of iron in the body (such as after bleeding). The amount
of iron in the human body is very small, a mere 3-5g. Though it's
not much, every little bit is essential for life.
After all, iron is responsible for transporting
oxygen in the bloodstream. It transfers oxygen into cells and
carbon dioxide out of cells, making iron indirectly essential
for energy metabolism. This is why people with low iron diets
tend to be fatigued.
Women are more likely to suffer from anemia
and low blood-iron due to menstruation, pregnancy and breastfeeding
taxing their iron stores. Vegetarians and those who eat little
red meat are at risk because red meat is the highest dietary source
of iron. Seniors often require an iron supplement due to decreased
nutrient absorption
Supplementing the diet with quality forms of
iron has been quite difficult. Many of the most bioavailable iron
sources, cause severe digestive system irritation and constipation.
