Iron deficiency is common, especially during pregnancy & in menstruating women, vegetarians and vegans and people on low-protein, ultra-processed food (UPF), and restricted (eg gluten-free, dairy-free) diets. Symptoms include excessive fatigue due to anemia (which can lead to heart and other muscle damage), impaired mental and physical development, and immune dysfunction. Iron overload due to excessive dietary iron intake & habitual use of iron supplements may increase the risk of chronic kidney disease (especially among people who are hypertensive) & other chronic diseases. The app can also help people with hemochromatosis avoid iron overload. Set your target daily iron intake based on guidance provided in the app and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz) and display of iron content in foods and beverages (ie, mg/serving, %target/serving, mg/100g, mg/1oz, %target/100g or %target/1oz). Record food and beverage consumption using the barcode scanner (please note that only manufacturers in the US are required to include iron content in the nutrition label read by the scanner), dictation, search or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided (which can be changed at any time). Tap the notepad to add notes. Monitor daily and long-term progress, export data to share with healthcare providers, synchronize data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, and share data with Apple's HealthKit. Add your own foods and recipes and change serving sizes to personalize the app's 400-item database for you. All food and beverage popups indicate whether the item is a plant, good prebiotic, probiotic or ultra-processed food (UPF) to inform a healthy diet and whether they are high or low FODMAP per serving where data are available to support people with irritable bowel syndrome. The app also provides nutritional information for many healthy foods and supports a healthy gut microbiome diet using color-coded type and icons.
