| Iron and Your Child (KidsHealth.org) [January 15, 2006] |
| KidsHealth.org - Ever wonder why so many cereals and infant formulas are fortified with iron? Iron is a nutrient that's an essential part of child's regular diet and is needed to make hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of red blood cells. Red blood cells circulate throughout the body to deliver oxygen to all its cells. Without enough iron, the body can't make enough red blood cells and the body's tissues and organs won't get the oxygen they need to function well. So it's especially important for kids and teens to get enough iron in their daily diets. |
