What is Iron?
Iron is an extremely important trace element for the human body. It is essential for the synthesis of hemoglobin and red cells, as well as the enzymatic activity of the body.
What are the properties of Iron?
Iron plays an essential role in the synthesis of hemoglobin and it helps to renew the blood cells, improving the oxygen transport from the lungs towards the muscles and different organs such as the liver, heart or brain.
It is involved in the energy transport of all the cells, since it makes up an enzyme (ribonucleic reductase) that is necessary for the DNA synthesis and cell division.
Iron is also important when it comes to improving the health of the central nervous system, which is involved in the regulation of the biochemical brain mechanisms, the neurotransmitter synthesis and other functions associated with learning and memory, as well as other physiological functions and the regulation of the body temperature.
