What is Iron?

Iron is an essential mineral that has several vital functions in the body. Its main function is to serve as a carrier of oxygen to the tissues from the lungs by the red blood cells.

It also serves as a transport medium for electrons within cells, and as an integrated part of important enzyme systems in various tissues.

Although iron is both plentiful and obtainable from a wide variety of foods, iron deficiency is still the most common form of mineral deficiency.

What are the symptoms of an iron deficiency?

Some of the most common symptoms of anaemia are weakness, unusual fatigue or lack of energy, bodily weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, hazy thinking, ringing in the ear and irritability. Anaemia symptoms can vary from person to person, so if you think you are iron deficient, you can use the Prima at-home Iron Test to give you an idea of your iron levels. It is recommended to get this verified through your doctor.
