Iron is an important mineral found in every cell of the human body. The need for iron increases during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Therefore, adequate iron intake should be ensured during these important stages of life.

The main function of hemoglobin in the body is to transport oxygen to different parts of our body, and iron is a key part of this. The need for iron increases during pregnancy, among other things due to the increase in blood volume.

Ferritin is an important marker of the body's iron stores, especially during pregnancy. During pregnancy, a woman's iron requirement increases, and monitoring ferritin levels is crucial for the health of both the mother and the fetus.
