Iron provides oxygen (energy) to all body tissues. Extra iron is needed during pregnancy. Deficiency results in anemia leading to a lack of energy, can damage the heart and muscle, and impairs mental and physical development. It is common among menstruating women, and also among vegetarians and vegans because fish and meat are rich sources of iron. This app can help you avoid iron deficiency.

Record the foods & drinks and amounts you consume using the barcode scanner, speech recognition, by favoriting foods, or using Search and using the serving sizes provided (see App Preview 2).
