Iron is also an essential nutrient for everyone especially for women in their reproductive years. If you have low levels of iron or iron deficiency (as diagnosed by your healthcare professional), supplemental iron should be considered while working with your health care practitioner. Teen girls and women with heavy menstrual cycles face a higher risk of low iron levels, as do pregnant women. Also, if you don’t eat a balanced diet rich in foods containing iron or take iron-depleting medications, you might need an iron-containing supplement. Iron helps to support metabolism, growth, development, and normal cellular functioning. Iron is a key component of your hemoglobin, a protein that allows red blood cells to carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of your body. But that’s not all iron is good for. The mineral also plays a role in energy production, growth, brain development, cellular functioning, and the synthesis of certain hormones. Without iron, your body can’t produce enough red blood cells, causing your body tissues to receive less oxygen than they need. 21st Century 27 mg Iron Tablets is a comprehensive healthy blood formula that feed your body with the mineral which are the building blocks for healthy blood.
