Iron & Health

Iron is an essential mineral needed for mental, physical and emotional development in children. In both adults and children, iron is an essential component of hemoglobin which transfers oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues. Iron also provides us with much-needed energy. Iron is utilized by the brain to make several neurotransmitters including serotonin, our happy hormone, and melatonin, our sleep hormone. Iron is necessary for a healthy immune system.

For growing infants and children iron is very important. Low iron can lead to behavioural problems including tantrums, ADHD-like behaviour and sleep problems. As well as physical development issues like failure to thrive, short stature, and poor grades at school. Iron also helps build a strong immune system helping to fight illness and infection.

Signs and Symptoms of Low Iron:

  • Dark under-eye circles
  • Moodiness, irritability or tantrums
  • Pale skin, lips, and eyelids
  • Increased infections, colds, and flus
  • Sleep disturbances like having a hard time falling asleep
  • Becoming tired quickly or needing more naps
  • Craving and eating ice, dirt, clay or other non-food items (pica)
  • Poor appetite
  • ADHD-like behaviours and/or tantrums
  • Slow growth (short or small for age)
  • Poor grades, low test scores
  • Headaches
  • Anxiety
  • Teeth grinding

How Much Iron do Kids Need?

To prevent iron deficiency anemia, supplement with the following dose:

  • Children 7 months to 13 years – 10 mg iron daily
  • Girls 14 to 18 years – 15 mg daily
  • Boys 14 to 18 years – 10 mg daily
  • Pregnancy – 30 mg daily
  • Lactating – 10 mg daily

The doses recommended above are for elemental iron. Elemental iron is the total amount of iron available for absorption by your body. Always look for the elemental amount of iron when choosing an iron supplement.

If your child is diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia your health care provider will recommend a therapeutic dose as a treatment for anemia. Therapeutic doses will be higher than is recommended above.
