5May Prevent Anemia
The iron and vitamin B12 contents of beef liver are essential to the development of red blood cells in the body. When red blood cells are deformed or dysfunctional, anemia is likely to result. Anemia usually results when hemoglobin levels fall below a critical level. Iron is a necessary nutrient in the production of hemoglobin and myoglobin, both of which are oxygen-carrying pigments in the body. Vitamin B12 plays a major role in the development process of red blood cells, the absence of which can result in pernicious anemia. [4]
