Product Review

Iron is a mineral that the body needs to produce red blood cells. When the body does not get enough iron, it cannot produce the number of normal red blood cells needed to keep us in good health.*

What is “anemia” and how many people does it affect in the United States?
The word anemia means that there are not enough red blood cells in the body to perform all of the body’s functions. The main purpose of red blood cells is to carry oxygen to all of the tissues in the body. These red blood cells use iron to help carry oxygen to the cells in the body. This is why it is commonly stated that a person has “low iron” when they actually have low red blood cells.*

Patients with anemia can have symptoms of low energy, more sleeping, decreased appetite, pale skin or nail beds and headaches. Depending on the age of the patient, symptoms may vary. For instance, an infant with anemia typically sleeps more than usual and feeds less often or tires easily with feeding. But an adolescent patient may notice that they are not able to perform physical activities as they did in the past or they get tired easier. They also may feel short of breath or develop chest pain. The symptoms of anemia can be very vague and difficult to figure out so most doctors will order testing which screens for anemia.*


A proper level of iron in the blood helps ensure proper body function as well as good health in general during these 'rapid growth' periods.*
