Without enough iron, growth is delayed, and developmental abnormalities can occur such as impaired brain development in children. The negative impact low iron has on health can have lasting-effects.<\/p>\n<p>Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency worldwide, with pregnant women and young children at the greatest risk. Iron deficiency can occur at any stage of life if enough iron is not consumed daily. We should be eating 20 mg of iron in our diet, but the latest research shows we are getting around 8 mg per day.<\/p>\n<p>Iron deficiency anemia occurs when the body\u2019s iron stores, known as ferritin, are not high enough to make adequate amounts of hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein.

If your child is diagnosed with iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anemia, supplementation is necessary to raise iron levels.<\/p>\n<p>Supplementing with iron is especially important for picky eaters or kids who avoid meats.<\/p>\n<p>While heme iron is the easiest to absorb from food, it is difficult to use heme iron in supplement form as it is sourced from animal blood.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of iron supplements on the market have inferior forms of iron that are not well absorbed and cause side effects such as constipation, diarrhea, nausea, intestinal pain, and black stools. Black stool is a sign of unabsorbed iron, which irritates the digestive tract.<\/p>\n<p>Visit your doctor if you have tar-like black stool which is a serious sign of bleeding in the digestive tract.<\/p>\n<p>When iron supplements come in contact with teeth, they can cause discoloration or graying of the teeth. None of these side effects occur with KidStar\u00ae BioFe\u00ae Iron.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#aadb1e&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|30px|30px|30px|30px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; header_3_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#e63888&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#aadb1e&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||-1px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;7px|25px|7px|25px|true|true&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|30px|30px|30px|30px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>KidStar\u00ae BioFe\u00ae Iron<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kidstarnutrients.com\/ingredients-matter\/star-ingredients\/iron\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KidStar\u00ae BioFe\u00ae\u00a0<\/a>is gentle and will not upset sensitive stomachs or stain teeth like common iron supplements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The iron in BioFe\u00ae is micronized and microencapsulated, protecting you from the side effects of iron, like constipation, black stools, tummy upset, and grey teeth.
