Natural Home Cures Himalayan Crystal Salt Contains Iron (Fe)
Iron is an essential trace mineral and is required for the proper formation of hemoglobin in the blood.(1) Without hemoglobin, the human body is unable to use oxygen breathed in via the lungs. Further, iron is also required for normal cellular activity as well as for the formation of certain types of connective tissues. Iron deficiency has been linked to fatigue, low blood-oxygen levels, poor immune function and cognitive deficits.(2) It is more common for women to require iron supplementation than men due to blood loss from normal menstruation (about two-thirds of all the iron in the body is found in hemoglobin). Because of physiological differences, men do not generally require an iron supplement unless they have a genetic condition in which hemoglobin is created malformed.(3)
