Certain cells that are a part of our immune system need iron for metabolism and if iron is low, they will not create enough energy to work properly. Healthy iron levels in the body are needed for a strong immune system.\u2060<\/p>\n<h3>Craving Ice, Dirt, or Clay (Pica)<\/h3>\n<p>Craving ice, dirt, or clay are common symptoms of low iron, zinc, and magnesium, especially in children. While the reasons aren\u2019t totally clear, dirt and clay are likely a source of minerals.\u2060<\/p>\n<h3>Stunted Growth &amp; Development<\/h3>\n<p>Being shorter or smaller than other children of the same age group is a symptom of iron deficiency. Growing kids need iron. Without optimal levels, growth and development can be stunted. \u2060<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Muscle Weakness &amp; Low Stamina<\/h3>\n<p>Muscle weakness and reduced stamina are more common in children with iron deficiency than children with optimal iron levels. This is because iron is needed to deliver enough oxygen or energy. \u2060<\/p>\n<h3>Cold Hands &amp; Feet<\/h3>\n<p>Cold hands and feet, a sign of poor circulation, are also a symptom of iron deficiency and anemia.
