Uses
Blood Building
Iron is the main component needed for the manufacture of haemoglobin, the pigment accounting for the colour of red blood cells. Haemoglobin is comprised of an iron compound combined with a protein, and is the means by which oxygen is transported through the body.
Utilization of Oxygen
It also helps to utilize oxygen in muscle by means of myoglobin, a pigment which functions in the muscles in a similar manner as haemoglobin does in the blood. Myoglobin allows muscle cells to retain oxygen.
Essential Coenzyme
Iron is also an essential constituent of many enzymes required for proper health.
Precautions
Please consult your GP if you are already taking any other medication.
