Iron is an important nutrient for red blood cell health. It is a component of hemoglobin that helps to carry oxygen throughout the body. The food sources of iron, namely red meat and other meat or poultry products, are often inaccessible to vegetarians. Additionally, menstruating females lose blood, and therefore iron, on a monthly basis. Though some popular foods and beverages are fortified with iron, this is rarely enough to satisfy the recommended daily requirements, especially for women or vegetarians. The Food Mill's Chelated Iron supplies 161% of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of iron when taken as directed.
