Today, we enjoy food that is mostly processed, organically grown and full of additives.
Such food not only causes damage to the intestinal mucosa, but is also depleted of nutrients, leading to various deficiencies. The most common deficiency is iron deficiency, for which the World Health Organization estimates that as many as 30% of the population suffers.
Why is iron important?
Iron is one of the most important minerals in the body, which also plays a key role in our well-being. Iron is crucial for the production of hemoglobin, which is found in red blood cells and is responsible for carrying oxygen around the body.
What symptoms should we look out for in iron deficiency?
We will first notice increased fatigue and tiredness at the slightest exertion, malaise, decreased resistance, shortness of breath, a faster or uneven heartbeat, and even dizziness or headaches. In severe cases, when iron levels are extremely low, chest and leg pain can occur. There may be a decrease in the concentration and frequency of headaches, which should also be considered in case of insomnia, muscle disorders, ulcers in the corners of the mouth, changes in taste and burning tongue, as well as the appearance of brittle nails and hair.
How much iron do we need per day?
Daily needs for iron, which should be ingested in the form most easily absorbed by the human body (ferro form of iron), depend on age and physiological conditions: from 5 mg / day in early childhood to 10 mg / day in adulthood and even 27 mg / day during pregnancy.
What are the optimal iron supplements?
Vitamin C
It is essential for hematopoiesis: it promotes the binding of iron to hemoglobin and its transport by transferrin. Various studies confirm that the absorption of iron with the addition of vitamin C is also a third better than without it.
Baker
It is an important cofactor in the various enzymes involved in iron metabolism, together with vitamin C they act synergistically and ensure optimal iron intake.
Baobab
Studies show that the high content of vitamins, minerals and trace elements in baobab pulp helps to reduce anemia, while baobab pulp also has many other benefits (promotes intestinal eubiosis, inhibits diarrhea, etc.)
