iron gummies

iron is a mineral that can be found in many multi vitamin supplements as well as in supplements that contain only iron. Iron is essential for growth and development, iron moves oxygen throughout the body and produces important hormones. Iron supplements are particularly important for pregnant women, young children and also vegetarians and vegans who do not get the same amount of iron as meat and seafood eaters.

it is essential that we supply our bodies with enough iron to prevent iron deficiency anemia, which can cause a variety of problems. Iron deficiency anemia happens when our red blood cells do not carry enough oxygen from our lungs to the rest of the body. Symptoms of iron deficiency include weakness, poor concentration, poor digestive health and vulnerability to infection as a result of a weakened immune system.

iron can be found in a variety of foods and is also often added to items such as cereal and bread, which we know as ‘fortified’ food products. Iron rich foods include lean meat, seafood and poultry, legumes, nuts and dry fruits like raisins. Consuming iron rich foods on a daily basis can be a challenge, especially for those who do not eat fish or meat, which is why we created tasty and convenient iron gummies!
