Symptoms

Iron is used to make haemoglobin which is found in red blood cells. Haemoglobin is important for carrying oxygen around the body. If you don’t have enough haemoglobin then your body is not going to get the oxygen it requires to function at its best. This low level of haemoglobin/red blood cells is called anaemia.
Iron is also important for the healthy growth of hair, skin and nails.

If you are iron deficient, then you can experience a wide variety of symptoms. These include:

  • Tiredness
  • Becoming fatigued quickly during exercise.
  • Looking pale
  • Memory problems
  • Brittle hair and nails
  • Poor concentration
  • Getting out of breath quicker than normal
  • Slow wound healing

Why is Vitamin D important for the body? 
 
Vitamin D is often said to be used for healthy bones and healthy teeth. This is true, however vitamin

levels.

There are two main sources of vitamin D – food and sunlight. Foods that contain vitamin D include
