Entre deux individus, les besoins nutritionnels peuvent s’opposer diamétralement, favorisant une classe de nutriments plutôt qu’une autre.
Le fer fait partie de ces nutriments qui font l’objet de recommandations changeantes, au regard de son implication au sein de l’organisme et de son utilisation assidue par ce dernier.
Son importance est telle, qu’une carence pourrait avoir de graves conséquences pour la santé et, dans une moindre mesure, diminuer les performances sportives.
Dans cet article, nous ferons le point sur les sources de fer, les risques d’une carence et l’intérêt des compléments alimentaires.
