Blood iron deficiency is one of the most sensitive problems that affects human health
Iron is part of the proteins — hemoglobin and myoglobin. Hemoglobin helps the red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues and organs. Myoglobin helps store reserve oxygen in the muscles. Iron is found in a number of enzymes — compounds involved in metabolism.
Although iron is extremely important for biochemical processes, the human body does not produce it — it only gets it from outside with food. It is generally accepted that the body requires at least 1 mg of iron per day for normal functioning. This is the minimum.
But the mechanism of iron absorption by the body remains in question. It is not clear — what iron is absorbed and why it works? Attempts to give iron in the form of capsules, tablets and even in injections are not very productive. More often we can see recommendations to take it in capsules and tablets at a concentration of 15-30 mg. But this, most often, does not give a significant result, although in capsules the dosage reaches 50-100 mg and even more.
According to WHO statistics, 25% of people have iron deficiency in the body.
If iron tablets had any effect, there would be no such problem in the world. There would not be such problems as anemia, weakness, fatigue, susceptibility to diseases, colds and so on accompanying iron deficiency. The aging of the body would be much slower.
Many people worldwide with iron deficiency were taking capsules and iron tablets, injections to increase iron levels. Often the result was either nonexistent or not significant. And there were no ways to correct this situation. In rare cases, the most advanced doctors would recommend to their patients to eat black caviar, drink expensive aged red wine, and go to resorts. Overall, this could also not yield significant results.
