Things worth knowing about "Iron tablets"
Iron tablets are a proven means of compensating for an iron deficiency in the body.
Iron is an essential trace element that plays a central role in the transport of oxygen in the blood and is required for many metabolic processes. A lack of iron can lead to symptoms such as tiredness, lack of concentration, hair loss and anaemia. Iron tablets are mainly used in cases of diagnosed iron deficiency. Typical causes of iron deficiency are insufficient iron intake due to an unbalanced diet or a vegan/vegetarian diet. There is an increased need for iron, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Losses due to bleeding, such as heavy menstrual bleeding, gastrointestinal illnesses or blood donations, as well as absorption disorders caused by illness are other typical causes of iron deficiency.
Iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach if the tablets are taken with water about 30 minutes before a meal. At the same time, certain inhibitors such as coffee, tea, milk and calcium-rich foods should be avoided when taking the tablets, as they reduce the absorption of iron. The simultaneous intake of vitamin C (e.g. in orange juice), on the other hand, improves iron absorption.
