Iron Deficiency

180 functions of the human organism need iron.

 

Why is there a iron deficiency at 50% of mankind?

Functions of iron

 

Every nurse and every doctor knows that iron is needed for making red blood cells (Haemoglobin). This is without doubt the most important function of iron (oxygen transport). But no one learns at medical school that there are another 179 bodily functions which are dependent on the presence of sufficient iron. Of these 180 iron-dependent bodily functions, here are just seven:

 

Haemoglobin production

 

Myoglobin production

 

Energy production in the cells (mitochondria)

 

Hormone production

 

Keeping the immune system healthy

 

Breakdown of free radicals (toxins)

 

Formation of ground substance

 

So what will happen if some of these functions are shut down?
