Infants & toddlers are at particular risk of iron deficiency due to their high demands for iron during a period of rapid growth. Iron deficiency that progresses to the stage of iron deficiency anemia may impair mental & psychomotor development & growth of the children. Clinical trials show that one out of ten children in the UK need iron supplementation at present. The most widespread nutritional problem in the world, impairing normal mental development of infants, is iron deficiency. Iron deficiency causes anaemia that is a major public health problem for infants after 6 months of age. Getting children to take effective Iron supplements has always been difficult until now.
