Iron improves cold toleranceDihydroporphyrin iron (III) enhances low temperature tolerance by increasing carbon and nitrogen metabolism in .

We investigated how dihydroporphyrin iron (DH-Fe) acts as a plant growth regulator, particularly in enhancing cold tolerance. Our research focused on plants that are usually sensitive to low temperatures, finding that DH-Fe plays a vital role in helping these plants cope with cold stress by using different concentrations of this treatment.
Through our study, we applied varying levels of DH-Fe to see how it impacts carbon and nitrogen metabolism, as well as oxidative stress responses, when plants were exposed to low temperatures. Notably, we observed that DH-Fe significantly reduces oxidative stress and other harmful effects associated with cold exposure. For instance, it reduced certain sugars while simultaneously boosting the activity of enzymes crucial for sugar breakdown and nitrogen assimilation.
Among the various findings, we noted that a concentration of 20 μg·L of DH-Fe was particularly effective, improving the overall health and resilience of the plants against low temperatures. This suggests that by applying the right amount of iron, we can potentially mitigate the negative effects of cold weather on sensitive plant species, providing a fresh perspective on how to enhance cold tolerance through nutrient management.
Overall, our findings shine a light on how incorporating iron into agricultural practices might be a practical strategy for improving plant resilience to cold stress.
Reduced cold cravings

Really helped my iron levels. I have a genetic disorder with anaemia and realised my iron was low again as I was eating ice nonstop. I was constantly craving ice and always cold. I began taking these and a week later I realised I hadn’t craved ice in about two days. It’s been nearly a month now, and I’m feeling less fatigued than before AND not once have I been constipated due to these. I’ll be going to the doctor to check my levels but I highly recommend.
