Iron is a basic nutrient present in several foods and plays a vital role in human wellbeing. This mineral is an essential component of hemoglobin, which transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, and myoglobin, which supplies oxygen to the muscles, being also necessary for growth, development, normal cell function, and the synthesis of some hormones and connective tissue.
In children the iron deficiency has a number of consequences, since can affect cognitive development, learning ability and immune function, so having an adequate intake is essential for healthy development and growth.
The amount of iron a child needs varies by age and gender, but in general school-aged children should consume about 8-10 milligrams of iron per day. Ensuring that a child receives the necessary daily amount of iron is critical to prevent them from developing iron deficiency, so it is important to take an iron supplement that can adequately address the requirements for comprehensive and effective coverage to keep the little ones full of energy and vitality.
