Iron aids in protein metabolism and plays a role in the production of hemoglobin and red blood cells, helping to prevent the onset of anemia. <\/p>\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Anemija zbog nedostatka \u017eeljeza je uobi\u010dajeno stanje koje se lako lije\u010di ako nemate dovoljno \u017eeljeza u tijelu. Niske razine \u017eeljeza obi\u010dno su posljedica gubitka krvi, lo\u0161e prehrane ili nemogu\u0107nosti apsorpcije dovoljno \u017eeljeza iz hrane. <\/code><\/pre>\n\n<p>Iron is needed to produce hemoglobin, a type of protein found in red blood cells that has the role of transporting oxygen from the lungs and transporting it through the body to the cells. Iron deficiency can mean that you are unable to produce enough red blood cells that carry oxygen &#8211; therefore, your body struggles to transport oxygen to the brain, tissues, muscles, and cells, making you feel exhausted and weak. <\/p>\n\n<p>In addition to preventing anemia, iron is a nutrient needed to maintain overall well-being, energy, and a healthy metabolism as it helps support overall cellular health and is involved in many enzyme functions. Iron plays a role in many enzymatic reactions that help our body digest food and absorb nutrients. These reactions also balance hormone levels and support brain, heart, skin, hair, nails, and metabolism health. (Most of the 3-4 grams of elemental iron present in our body is in the form of hemoglobin. The remaining iron is stored in the liver, spleen and bone marrow or is found in the myoglobin of our muscle tissue.<br\/>Symptoms    <\/p>\n\n<p>Iron deficiency can lead to the following conditions and symptoms:<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/mariolab.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mature-woman-headache-thinking-desk-financial-crisis-budget-issue-anxiety-economy-crash-female-administrator-stress-upset-office-with-technology-tension-burnout-1024x641.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mariolab.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mature-woman-headache-thinking-desk-financial-crisis-budget-issue-anxiety-economy-crash-female-administrator-stress-upset-office-with-technology-tension-burnout-1024x641.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mariolab.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mature-woman-headache-thinking-desk-financial-crisis-budget-issue-anxiety-economy-crash-female-administrator-stress-upset-office-with-technology-tension-burnout-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mariolab.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mature-woman-headache-thinking-desk-financial-crisis-budget-issue-anxiety-economy-crash-female-administrator-stress-upset-office-with-technology-tension-burnout-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mariolab.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mature-woman-headache-thinking-desk-financial-crisis-budget-issue-anxiety-economy-crash-female-administrator-stress-upset-office-with-technology-tension-burnout-1536x962.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mariolab.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mature-woman-headache-thinking-desk-financial-crisis-budget-issue-anxiety-economy-crash-female-administrator-stress-upset-office-with-technology-tension-burnout-2048x1282.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mariolab.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mature-woman-headache-thinking-desk-financial-crisis-budget-issue-anxiety-economy-crash-female-administrator-stress-upset-office-with-technology-tension-burnout-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/mariolab.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mature-woman-headache-thinking-desk-financial-crisis-budget-issue-anxiety-economy-crash-female-administrator-stress-upset-office-with-technology-tension-burnout-800x501.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mature woman, headache and thinking at desk for financial crisis, budget issue and anxiety for economy crash.

If you&#8217;re low on iron, it&#8217;s also important to get plenty of vitamin C in your diet, as it increases iron absorption. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for iron is eight milligrams per day for men and older women, while premenopausal women need 18 milligrams per day. The RDA for vegetarians is 1.8 times higher than those who eat meat due to the fact that the heme iron in meat is more bioavailable than non-heme iron from plant foods. Also, meat, poultry, and seafood increase the absorption of non-heme iron.<br\/>Risk factors  <\/p>\n\n<p>There are factors that also put you at a higher risk of iron deficiency. The most common reasons for iron deficiency are: <\/p>\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Ako slijedite vegetarijansku ili vegansku prehranu (koja ne uklju\u010duje \u017eivotinjske izvore proteina koji su prirodno bogati \u017eeljezom)\nAko puno vje\u017ebate (\u0161to ponekad mo\u017ee o\u0161tetiti crvena krvna zrnca)\nAko ste trudni ili dojite\nAko ste ikada imali zatajenje bubrega\nAko ste podvrgnuti ili ste bili podvrgnuti tretmanu dijalizom, koji mo\u017ee ukloniti \u017eeljezo iz tijela\nAko ste u pro\u0161losti imali \u010direve\nAko imate poznate gastrointestinalne poreme\u0107aje koji mogu ograni\u010diti va\u0161u sposobnost apsorpcije nu trijenata, kao \u0161to su celijakija, Crohnova bolest ili ulcerozni kolitis\nAko uzimate veliku koli\u010dinu antacida, jer oni sadr\u017ee kalcij koji mo\u017ee sprije\u010diti apsorpciju \u017eeljeza\nAko ste nedavno imali operaciju ili ste izgubili krv iz bilo kojeg razloga, poput darivanja krvi\nDob i spol (vidi dolje)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<p>The amount of iron someone needs per day to prevent iron deficiency varies greatly depending on age and gender. Women need more iron than men because they lose a certain amount of iron each month during a normal menstrual cycle.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Starting around adolescence when a woman begins to have a menstrual cycle, her daily iron needs increase, but then the level will decrease again as the woman reaches menopause. Women between the ages of 19 and 50 should consume the most iron of any group \u2013 about 18 milligrams of iron each day. <\/p>\n\n<p>However, men of the same age can get away with much less and will still be at lower risk of iron deficiency. Men only need about 8 milligrams of iron per day.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Recommended daily doses:<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Djeca od 1 do 3 godine: 7 miligrama\nDjeca od 4 do 8 godina: 10 miligrama\nDjeca od 9 do 13 godina: 8 miligrama\n\u017dene od 14 do 18 godina: 15 miligrama\nMu\u0161karci od 14 do 18 godina: 11 miligrama\n\u017dene u dobi od 19 do 50 godina: 18 miligrama\nTrudnice i dojilje: 27 miligrama\nMu\u0161karci od 19+: 8 miligrama\n\u017dene u dobi od 51+: 8 miligrama<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<p>As you will notice, young children need more iron than children because iron supports the process of growth and cognitive development. It can be difficult for young children to get enough iron from their diet alone, especially if they are &#8220;picky eaters&#8221; &#8211; so a blood test during a child&#8217;s annual check-up can identify iron deficiency before it becomes a bigger problem. Breast milk is believed to contain highly bioavailable iron, but in amounts that are not enough to meet the needs of infants older than 4-6 months. It is best for babies to start eating solid foods that are naturally rich in bioavailable iron, or to eat iron-fortified foods or formula as soon as they are able. Women who are pregnant may need more iron than the general population, so it is recommended that they take iron as part of a prenatal vitamin complex. However, this correlation is not very clear; Unless a woman already has iron deficiency anemia, taking supplemental iron in supplement form does not appear to have a long-term effect on the outcome of labor. Finally, anyone who has lost blood due to recent surgery may want to supplement with iron to prevent signs of iron deficiency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is iron deficiency?
