Iron is an essential nutrient for our bodies, getting your daily dose can help to prevent anaemia , which manifests as tiredness and a lack of energy.

Ensuring you have your daily iron intake, it can help in multiple ways:

1. Hemoglobin production, which carries oxygen in the blood.
2. Supports immune system function.
3. Essential for brain function and cognitive development.
4. Helps regulate body temperature.
5. Essential for muscle function, including the heart muscle.

Vegans are stereotypically more at risk of anaemia due to the lack of iron in their diet.

Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body’s tissues. Lack of iron can lead to anemia, fatigue, and decreased immunity.

Heme and non-heme iron are two forms of iron found in food.

1. Heme iron: is found in animal products such as meat, poultry, and fish. It is well absorbed by the body.
2. Non-heme iron: is found in plant-based foods such as beans, lentils, tofu, and fortified grains, as well as in dietary supplements. Non-heme iron is not as well absorbed as heme iron, and its absorption can be inhibited by other components in the diet, such as calcium, coffee, and tea.

Vegans and vegetarians, who typically consume mostly non-heme iron, may need to eat more iron-rich foods or take supplements to meet their iron needs.
