Description
Those following a vegan, vegetarian or plant based diet can be more at risk of developing iron deficiency. This is due to the iron found in plant-based foods is less bio-available than animal based foods (meaning that it is not as well absorbed).
Iron deficiency can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, tiredness, poor immune function, restless legs and issues concentrating.
