A deficiency in iron can affect how the brain works. For example, iron is involved in the synthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine. These neurotransmitters help to regulate mood and sleep, and are involved in learning and memory. \u00a0Low iron during early stages of development can lead to behavioural and mood problems in children. Iron deficiency has been shown to increase the risk or post-partum depression in new moms, as well as anxiety and depression in adults.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cognitive function<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Healthy iron levels are needed for cognitive function in children, teens, and adults. Low levels can impair attention, memory, and our ability to learn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Low Energy and Heart Problems<\/strong> \u2013 When iron stores become low, red blood cell production drops and the amount of oxygen reaching our cells is reduced. In response, the heart must work harder to get oxygen to our cells. When the heart must work harder it can lead to fatigue. Over time, this added strain can cause enlargement of the heart and even heart failure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Immunity<\/strong> \u2013<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Iron is involved in the development and function of the immune system. Deficiency impairs immune function and increases the occurrence of infections, cold, and flus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fertility<\/strong> \u2013 Without adequate iron levels, fertility can suffer. Low iron levels can negatively effect ovulation. Iron deficiency during pregnancy can increase the risk of miscarriage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pregnancy Complications<\/strong> \u2013 Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia can all increase the chances of low birth weight, pre-eclampsia, placental abruption, and postpartum hemorrhage.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; 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; background_color=&#8221;rgba(0,199,177,0.16)&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px|30px|10px|30px|false|true&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|30px|30px|30px|30px&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;3px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#00c7b1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Symptoms of Iron Deficiency and Iron Deficiency Anemia<\/h3>\n<p>Iron deficiency can go unnoticed for years. <a href=\"https:\/\/kidstarnutrients.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/KidStar-Iron-Deficiency-Symptom-Checklist_042320.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Symptoms<\/a> do not always occur or can be hard to spot until things are very bad.
