Iron: When to #supplement and when to take

Iron is an essential #mineral for the body, as it helps produce hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to the body's tissues.

👤 Who needs an iron supplement?

▪ People with insufficient iron #nutrition, such as vegetarians and women of reproductive age.

▪ People who have lost blood, such as due to bleeding or gastrointestinal problems.

▪ People with certain #medical conditions, such as Crohn's disease or cirrhosis of the liver.

💊 Iron supplement should be taken one hour before food as food can reduce its absorption and you should consult your doctor before taking iron supplement if you have any medical condition and history.

🩸 In our #laboratories we perform a #blood_test to check your actual iron levels.
