Product Notes:
Iron is needed to help the blood transport oxygen throughout the body, and also helps immune and brain functions. Iron deficiencies can produce a wide range of symptoms, including tiredness and poor concentration, or even impaired physical development, if it develops to full-fledged anemia.
Iron levels have also been associated with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). On the other hand, taking too much iron can be quite dangerous for kids, which is why some multivitamins don't even include it or only include very minute amounts, which is why you may need a supplement with a safe daily amount dedicated solely to it which you can keep away from them when not in use. 15 mg of iron is well within the 40 mg Tolerable Upper Intake Level for children between 4 and 8 years old.
