However, a Cochrane review of 33 trials in 13,114 children showed that intermittent supplementation does not appear to have this effect [78]. Among 1,106 elderly white adults aged 67 to 96 years in the Framingham Heart Study, 13% had high iron stores (serum ferritin levels higher than 300 mcg/L in men and 200 mcg/L in women), of which only 1% was due to chronic disease [41]. Individuals with hereditary hemochromatosis, which predisposes them to absorb excessive amounts of dietary iron, have an increased risk of iron overload [40]. Between 1998 and 2002, only one child death due to ingesting an iron-containing tablet was reported [28]. Camaschella C. Iron-deficiency anemia. While all human cells contain iron, it is mostly found in red blood cells. Screening for iron deficiency anemia and iron supplementation in pregnant women to improve maternal health and birth outcomes: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement. However, the effects of enhancers and inhibitors of iron absorption are attenuated by a typical mixed western diet, so they have little effect on most people’s iron status.

This is because heme iron from meat is more bioavailable than nonheme iron from plant-based foods, and meat, poultry, and seafood increase the absorption of nonheme iron [5]. Iron deficiency is not uncommon in the United States, especially among young children, women of reproductive age, and pregnant women. In addition, since 1978, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has required manufacturers to package dietary supplements containing 250 mg or more elemental iron per container in child-resistant bottles or packaging to prevent accidental poisoning [93,94].

Although iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia, deficiencies of other micronutrients (such as folate and vitamin B12) and other factors (such as chronic infection and inflammation) can cause different forms of anemia or contribute to their severity. Good sources of iron. Food insecurity is associated with iron deficiency anemia in US adolescents. Hepcidin, a circulating peptide hormone, is the key regulator of both iron absorption and the distribution of iron throughout the body, including in plasma [1,2,6]. The authors did not assess genotypes, so they could not determine whether these results were due to hemochromatosis [41].

Anemia of chronic disease is usually mild to moderate (hemoglobin levels 8 to 9.5 g/dL) and is associated with low counts of erythrocytes and decreased erythropoiesis [79]. Infants—especially those born preterm or with low birthweight or whose mothers have iron deficiency—are at risk of iron deficiency because of their high iron requirements due to their rapid growth [35,46].

Full-term infants typically have adequate iron stores for approximately the first 4 to 6 months, but the risk of iron deficiency in low-birthweight and preterm infants begins at birth because of their low iron stores. Heme iron, which is formed when iron combines with protoporphyrin IX, contributes about 10% to 15% of total iron intakes in western populations [3-5].

Chelated iron is known by many generic and brand names. A complementary approach is to consider how iron intakes from the diet and dietary supplements compare with recommended intakes. Some evidence indicates that the effects of deficiencies early in life persist through adulthood [2]. It is a component of hemoglobin (in the red blood cells) and many enzymes in the body. J Pharm Pharmacol 1990;42:502-4. With iron-deficiency erythropoiesis (also known as marginal iron deficiency), iron stores are depleted and transferrin saturation declines, but hemoglobin levels are usually within the normal range. There are several other signs that your iron could be low. Without iron supplementation, two-thirds of the donors had not recovered the iron they lost, even after 24 weeks.
