Iron (Beauty)

Iron is a mineral that occurs in both plant and animal tissue. Its major function is to combine with protein and copper in making hemoglobin. Hemoglobin transports oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the tissues, which need oxygen to maintain basic life functions. Iron builds up the quality of the blood and increases resistance to stress and disease. It is also necessary for the formation of myoglobin, which is found only in muscle tissue. Myoglobin supplies oxygen to muscle cells for use in the chemical reaction that results in muscle contraction. Iron also prevents fatigue and promotes good skin tone.

Iron (Nutrition)

Mineral essential to oxygen transport in blood (via hemoglobin and myoglobin), enzyme production and immune support. A deficiency can cause the most common form of anemia. Teenagers need additional iron during their years of maximum growth; women need extra iron during the years they are menstruating and during pregnancy.

A mineral, which can occur naturally in water and can be especially high in well water. Can lead to problems with staining and discoloration of the pool or spa water and underwater surfaces. Requires treatment with chelating agents. Best to treat prior to adding chlorine or raising the pH. Testing of the water will determine the concentration in PPM and allow for an appropriate dosage of chelating agents to be added. Any measurable amount of iron is capable of causing a problem, if not treated. Click here for some ordering information about Iron Test Kits.
