Description
Haemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs and transports it to the rest of your body through your blood. Iron makes up a vital part of haemoglobin making it essential for oxygen transportation.
This essential mineral is not produced by your body and must be received through your diet. Low iron levels can lead to anaemia, a condition in which the body does not have adequate numbers of red blood cells.
If a deficiency is discovered, our team can assist patients to effectively treat the insufficiency with supplementation as well as guidance on opportunities to boost your overall health and wellbeing.
