Iron 45mg

Iron is needed for growth and development and helps to make hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen to all parts of the body, and myoglobin, a protein that provides oxygen to muscles. It helps to form red blood cells and prevent iron deficiency which is seen in anemia conditions. For females, iron supplementation is crucial because iron deficiency during pregnancy increases the risk of maternal and infant mortality, premature birth, and low birth weight. In addition, iron is also necessary for physical growth, neurological development, cellular functioning, and synthesis of some hormones.
