Iodine supports normal thyroid function.
Iron contributes to the formation of red blood cells.
An adequate supply of nutrients is essential for health, performance, and well-being. These include iodine, iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12.
An adequate supply of these nutrients is particularly important for women of childbearing age, pregnant women, breastfeeding women, older people, and people who only consume leafy vegetables rich in folic acid, iodine-rich foods (e.g., fish), and iron- and B12-rich animal products (e.g., meat) on an irregular basis.
Iodine is a vital trace element that the body cannot produce itself. It contributes to normal thyroid function. Iodine intake is important for pregnant women, as it is also supplied to the unborn child.
Why is there hardly any iodine in plant-based foods?
Unfortunately, plant-based foods contain almost no iodine. The reason for this goes back a long way: during the Ice Age, the soil in Central Europe was depleted of iodine due to leaching, with the result that the plants and animals in the food chain contain little iodine. This is why Germany is also referred to as an “iodine-deficient area.”
Iron is a vital trace element that plays a role in many bodily functions. Iron is involved in the formation of red blood cells, oxygen transport in the blood, and normal energy metabolism.
Since the body cannot produce iron itself and loses a certain amount of iron every day, it is dependent on an adequate supply through food.
In certain situations, the need for iron is also increased and an adequate supply through food is not always guaranteed. A predominantly plant-based or unbalanced diet can be low in iron or contain ingredients (e.g., black tea, coffee) that interfere with iron absorption.
Folic acid plays a special role in normal cell division. Women who are planning to conceive or are already pregnant should therefore ensure that they consume sufficient folic acid in their diet.
Vitamin B12 and folic acid play a role in normal blood formation and help reduce fatigue and exhaustion. What many people don’t know is that it also supports normal immune system function.
Plant-based foods usually contain low amounts of vitamin B12. Therefore, people who eat little or no animal products should pay particular attention to their vitamin B12 intake.
