Spring Valley Iron Supplement Slow Release Tablets, 45 mg, 30 Ct
The body needs iron for healthy growth, development, and metabolism. Iron is also vital for correct cell functioning and the creation of some hormones.
Iron is essential for carrying oxygen in red blood cells. The red blood cells carry oxygen to and from muscles and tissues in the body.
If a person has low iron levels, they may not send enough oxygen to their muscles. Muscles that are low in oxygen cannot burn fat for fuel as well as they should. Low iron also interferes with optimum metabolism in the body.
Sources of iron include:
meat
beans
fortified cereals
brown rice
nuts
dark green, leafy vegetables
tofu and soybeans
Although iron is vital, it is also toxic when consumed in high doses. People should, therefore, talk to a doctor or dietitian about whether they have an iron deficiency before they take supplements.
