May enhance iron absorption
Top 6 in Top 7 Health Benefits of Pectin
According to certain studies, apple pectin may help with iron absorption. Iron is a mineral that is required for the delivery of oxygen throughout the body as well as the formation of red blood cells. This could be especially essential for persons suffering from anemia, a condition characterized by weakness and weariness caused by iron deficiency. Notably, the World Health Organization (WHO) claims that more than 30% of women of reproductive age worldwide are anemic.
Menstruating women and those who eat a vegan or vegetarian diet are more vulnerable to iron deficiency. Menstruation can cause iron loss, and iron from plant-based diets is not as well absorbed as iron from animal sources.
