Iron deficiency is the most widespread food shortages in western countries and the United States, in children, in women with pregnancy and especially pregnant women.
It is important to understand that pregnancy requires a significant increase in blood volume to meet the needs of the placenta and baby. This increase in blood volume requires extra iron, well above the needs of the body before pregnancy. In case of iron deficiency, the risk of maternal anemia is high. Pregnancy in this case may result in a baby of low birth weight.
