Iron is a nutrient that has a variety of vital functions in the body, including preserving your health and energy. Low iron levels are typical and can result in bothersome symptoms including fatigue, lack of focus, and recurrent illnesses. Iron deficiency, however, is not always simple to detect, particularly in its early stages and food changes alone are often ineffective at treating a deficiency, so iron supplements are an excellent option.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE
Taking iron supplements when they’re not necessary could be harmful to your health because it can create digestive problems and impair the absorption of other nutrients in your stomach if you have too much iron in your diet.
Therefore, before taking iron supplements, always consult your healthcare provider about having your or your child’s iron status tested and always go by their dosage recommendations.
