Its job is to transport oxygen to your red blood cells, which is essential for your body to function as it should. If you’re struggling with fatigue, are pregnant, have very heavy periods, or have a vegetarian or vegan diet, an iron supplement could be for you - but make sure to speak to a medical professional first, as taking too much iron can be bad for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do over-50s need to take iron supplements?

Iron supplements are vital for people who suffer from iron deficiency anaemia, which is common in people who are vegetarian or vegan, or in people who have suffered blood loss.

 

The symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia are tiredness, lack of energy, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and pale skin.

 

If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, you should inform your GP so they can carry out a blood test to see if your iron levels are low.

 

You will only need to take iron supplements if your iron levels are low.

Do children need iron supplements?

Your child should be able to get enough iron from eating a balanced diet, with food such as red meats, fish, leafy vegetables and beans.

 

However, if your child is a picky eater, has a vegetarian or vegan diet, exercises often, or they’re going through menstruation or a rapid growth spurt, you may need to give them an extra boost of iron through a supplement.

Who should take an iron supplement?

Most people are able to get enough iron from diet alone, but some people who might not be getting enough iron may benefit from taking an iron supplement.

 

If you’re pregnant, have heavy periods, follow a vegetarian or vegan diet or have a blood disorder, you may need to take an iron supplement to ensure you’re getting the correct amount your body needs.

 

You should, however, check with your GP first so they can test your blood to see if your iron levels are low.

Are iron supplements good for hair loss?

Iron helps to carry oxygen to your red blood cells, which can make it an essential mineral for lots of functions, including hair growth.

 

Having anaemia, which is often the result of an iron deficiency, is a common cause of hair loss, especially in women.

 

If your body lacks the correct amount of iron to make enough red blood cells, the oxygen they create will be prioritized by your vital organs rather than your hair follicles.

 

Without enough oxygen, your hair follicles cease to function properly, and your hair may fall out.
