Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Iron is a significant element of the hemoglobin and also an essential nutrient needed for erythropoiesis. The iron in the body is lost in stool, urine, and bleeding in both men and women. During menstruation, women lose iron, in addition. Iron in the diet that exists in two ion forms; ferric ions (Fe3+) and ferrous ions (Fe2+).
