What is iron and why is it important?
Iron is an essential trace element that the body needs for the formation of hemoglobin – the protein that transports oxygen in the blood. A deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, concentration problems, and general performance decline. Additionally, iron is important for the immune system and energy metabolism.
Although iron can be absorbed through diet (e.g., in meat, legumes, or spinach), intake often is not sufficient during high demand, blood loss, or certain diseases. Here, an infusion can help quickly.
