Iron supplements are dietary products designed to boost iron levels in the body, a critical mineral for producing hemoglobin and supporting oxygen transport in the blood. Typically available in forms like tablets, capsules, or liquid drops, these supplements often feature ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate, or ferrous fumarate as primary ingredients. While not tied to any specific cuisine or origin, iron supplementation is widely used globally to address nutritional deficiencies, anemia, or increased iron needs during pregnancy. When consumed as directed, iron supplements can enhance energy, improve focus, and prevent fatigue caused by low iron levels. However, excessive or improper use may lead to side effects like stomach upset, constipation, or iron overload. For optimal health, these should be paired with vitamin C to aid absorption and consumed under professional guidance when dietary sources of iron, such as meats, beans, and leafy greens, are insufficient.
