IRON is a vital element for blood production. It is said that 70 percent of our body’s iron is found in red blood and in muscle cells. The iron in blood is called haemoglobin while [ihc-hide-content ihc_mb_type=”show” ihc_mb_who=”2,3,5″ ihc_mb_template=”1″ ] in muscle cells, it is called myoglobin. Haemoglobin in red blood cells helps to transfer oxygen in our blood from the lungs to the tissues and organs and transport carbon dioxide from our tissue and organs back to our lung. Iron is naturally available in the foods you eat. Once the iron mineral is consumed, many iron balancing systems are in place to make certain that we get enough of this vital element. A human body has enough iron to make a metal nail of 7.5 cm long. Most of this iron is from the blood. [/ihc-hide-content]
