Lead-associated cognitive deficits occur at blood lead levels <10 μg/L, a level once thought to be harmless. The current prevalence rates of iron deficiency and IDA in toddlers, especially among those in the lower socioeconomic groups, are unacceptably high. These young children are doubly at...

Food-based strategies improve iron status in toddlers: a randomized controlled trial12. Background: Nonanemic iron deficiency is common in toddlers in developed countries. Food-based strategies are safe methods to control and prevent mild micr... EA Szymlek-Gay,EL Ferguson,Heath Anne-Louise M,....
The mechanism for iron incorporation into hemoglobin is described in Chapter 4. Hemoglobin synthesis has a high priority for tissue iron stores, and these are depleted to maintain normal hemoglobin levels. Since iron is absorbed in only limited amounts, factors which induce excessive loss of iron ...

in industrially developed and developing countries. In the United States, 9–11% of toddlers, adolescent girls, and women of child-bearing age have iron deficiency, and 2–4% haveiron deficiency anemia. The prevalence of iron deficiency is approximately doubled in US black and Hispanic women. ...
the iron level in blood serum, the body's capacity to absorb iron, and the amount of iron actually stored in the body. Iron is an essential trace element; it is necessary for the formation of red blood cells and certain enzymes. At the other extreme, high levels of iron can be ...
is a patented chelated form of iron. This form of iron is reacted with glycine, resulting in optimal absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and decreasing iron’s typical gastrointestinal side effects.* A study (cited below) showed Ferrochel is more effective at increasing iron levels in pregnan...
