Collection: Iron Deficiency /Anemia
Supporting Energy and Vitality
Iron deficiency, the most common nutrient deficiency worldwide, occurs when the body lacks sufficient iron to meet its needs. It can result from dietary insufficiencies, poor absorption, blood loss, or increased demand during life stages like pregnancy. Those at higher risk include vegetarians, vegans, and individuals with digestive conditions. Symptoms often include fatigue, poor concentration, weakness, and hair loss. Supporting iron levels involves consuming iron-rich foods like meat, fish, leafy greens, and beans, while pairing them with vitamin C-rich foods to enhance absorption. Avoiding substances that inhibit iron absorption, like tea and coffee, can further support optimal iron levels.
