Let’s talk about iron,  one of those unsung heroes your body really can’t do without. In today’s post, we’re breaking down why iron is so important (especially for women!), how it supports your daily energy, focus,  overall health, and easy, natural ways to boost your levels. Plus, we’ve got something exciting to share… a product re-launch that makes supporting your iron intake super simple (and delicious, of course). So, let’s get into it!

Why is Iron So Important?

Here’s why it’s important: iron helps your body make haemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen to the rest of your body. It also supports your energy and metabolism. If you suffer from low iron, iron deficiency, or anemia, you might feel tired or low energy on a daily basis. Iron is also essential for brain function and mental clarity, making it one of the most crucial nutrients to maintain. Check out our Iron Plus.

Who Can Benefit from Taking Iron?

Regardless of what diet you follow, iron is one of the most essential vitamins to supplement. In fact, The New York Times reported that one in three women under the age of fifty is iron deficient. That’s a lot of people who could benefit from a daily supplement for iron deficiency.

Symptoms of Iron Deficiency

How do you know if your iron levels are low? Common symptoms include:

• Fatigue

• Pale skin

• Shortness of breath

• Dizziness or light-headedness

• Cold hands and feet

• Headaches

• Brittle nails or thinning hair

Natural Ways to Boost Your Iron

Whether or not you’re taking supplements, here are some natural ways to support your iron intake:

Eating Iron-Rich Foods

You can get iron from both animal-based and plant-based sources. Since Herbaland is proudly vegan, we’re all about that plant-powered goodness. Here are some of the best vegan sources of iron:

• Lentils, beans, tofu

• Spinach, kale, Swiss chard

• Pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds

• Quinoa, and iron-fortified cereals (always check the label!)

• Dried fruits like apricots, prunes, and raisins
  
  

Hot tip: To help your body absorb plant-based iron, pair it with vitamin C—think oranges, strawberries, or a splash of lemon in your salad dressing.

Cast Iron

 

Want a creative way to add more iron to your meals? Try cooking in cast iron. When you prepare food (especially acidic or saucy dishes) in a cast-iron pan, a small amount of iron transfers into your food.

It’s one of the easiest ways to support iron levels—plus, cast iron cookware is non-toxic, naturally non-stick when seasoned properly, and built to last for generations. 

Bonus: it fits right into a healthy, sustainable kitchen routine.
