• Iron’s most important role is to carry oxygen to cells in tissue and muscles. Men 19 to 50 need 8 mg of iron per day while women need substantially more (18 mg). The early signs of iron deficiency are anemia, fatigue, and a drop in productivity. It is estimated that 3 out of 4 women do not get enough iron. Eating half a Bon Matin No Fat, No Sugar Added, 100% Whole Wheat Bagel provides 10% of the recommended daily intake of iron.
