Iron: Benefits, Food Sources and Daily Needs

Nutrition Fact
Iron contributes to normal cognitive function.
Nutrition Description
Iron is a mineral needed for growth and development. The body uses it to make hemoglobin, which is a protein in our red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the other parts of the body, as well as myoglobin, which is a protein that provides oxygen to muscles. It's found in a range of foods, and there's a specific daily amount adults should aim for.
Food Sources
Iron is found in red meat, poultry, fish, beans and fortified cereals. Nua Naturals' Organic Maca Powder is a particularly strong source at 13mg per 100g (93% RI), alongside Organic Hemp Protein Powder (17mg per 100g, 121% RI), Goji Berries (6.5mg, 46% RI), Organic Acai Powder (3.8mg, 27% RI), Bee Pollen (3.2mg, 23% RI) and Organic Cacao Nibs/Powder (3.4mg, 24% RI).
How Much You Need Per Day
The EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) for iron is 14mg per day for the average adult.
