Iron deficiency is common among menstruating women, vegetarians and vegans. It is also associated with low-protein diets, ultra-processed food diets, restricted diets (eg gluten-free and dairy-free) and fad diets. Symptoms include excessive fatigue due to to anemia, which can also lead to heart and other muscle damage, impaired mental and physical development and immune function (all body cells require iron for energy). Extra iron is needed during pregnancy. Use this app to avoid iron deficiency. The app can also be used to help people with hemochromatosis avoid iron overload.
The app will set a default daily iron target for you based on your age, sex, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding. You can change this target at any time, for example if you have been advised to restrict iron intake due to hemochromatosis.
Record the foods & drinks and amounts you consume using the barcode scanner, speech recognition, by favoriting foods, or using Search and using the serving sizes provided, which can be changed at any time.
Your progress towards your target daily intake will be shown on the dashboard in real-time.
You can also view your progress over time on the Month view dashboard, and export food diaries and iron intake into a spreadsheet for your own information or to share with healthcare providers.
The app’s 328-item curated food and beverage database shows all 312 plant-based foods in green type to help users consume the 30+ different types of plants per week recommended by experts for a healthy gut microbiome. Users can also add their own foods and recipes.
You can synchronize all data in the app with other First Line Medical Communication Ltd nutrient counter apps on your iPhones and iPads.
Apple's HealthKit functionality is integrated in the app's user interface so you can share your data with Apple's Health app
Also useful nutritional information via the Info tab.

Greatest team & apps
Thanks for all free app with amazing health and foods information .... We pray for you

Not intuitive and lacking in catalog of foods
I want to like this app, but it doesn’t have the basic features needed, or simplicity for most people. I think if this product were a side feature or plug in for a food tracker like my fitness pal or something it would work. Those other apps lack tracking like this for specific micronutrients like iron, and for people that need that, this would be a great add. But this app doesn’t have the volume or variety of foods that one of those apps has, and people are not likely to use this AND that separately to track diet and iron.
Developer Response ,
We have now added in a barcode scanner. In addition, we provide a 325+ database of common unbranded foods and beverages. We also include App Previews on the App Store to provide guidance on how to use the Settings tab to set your preferred units for weights (g or ounces) and for amounts of nutrient (in terms of weight or % daily target) per serving and per weight unit, and how to record your intake by dictation, search and favoriting if you don't use the barcode scanner. This guidance is also provided in the "How to use the app" instructions included with the app.
Question
Sorry to write this here but can’t find another source for contact. Love the app but I’m wondering about the measurement. It says grams but is it actually milligrams. Seems all other iron info sites are measuring everything in milligrams and I just want to make sure I’m converting if necessary. Thank you
Developer Response ,
The app uses USDA FoodData Central (https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/) and the USDA and US HHS Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025, available at DietaryGuidelines.gov. for food and beverage iron content and recommended daily iron intake. Iron is measured in mg and food weights in g if that is your chosen weight measurement (you can choose g or oz on the screen accessed via the Settings tab).
