Pharmacology

Iron is an essential mineral and does several important jobs in the body. For example, it helps make red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. A lack of iron can lead to iron deficiency anaemia. Liver is a good source of iron, but don't eat it if you are pregnant. It is also rich in vitamin A, which in large amounts can harm your unborn baby.

Folic acid is needed to produce certain coenzymes in many metabolic systems, such as purine and pyrimidine synthesis. It is also needed for the synthesis and maintenance of nucleoprotein in erythropoesis. In folate-deficiency anaemia, it also promotes WBC and platelet production.

Vitamin C is necessary for collagen formation and tissue repair. It plays a role in oxidation/reduction reactions and in other metabolic pathways, including synthesis of catecholamines, carnitine and steroids. It also plays a role in the conversion of folic acid to folinic acid.

Vitamin B complex: the building blocks for good health come from many different foods, even when they belong to the same family of nutrients. Vitamin B is a good example. It is a key player in maintaining cell health and keeping you energetic. Not all types of vitamin B do the same thing, and the different types come from different foods.

Vitamin B deficiencies can lead to health problems. Sometimes a doctor will prescribe a supplement when they think you're not getting enough.
