Collaborating to combat iron deficiency

Access to nutrition is a human right.

Yet in Canada, Indigenous populations face major nutritional deficiencies, including iron deficiency anemia, at rates up to ten times higher than the national average.

This is a direct result of colonization disrupting traditional food systems. Many communities struggle to get enough iron through diet alone, and with growing global challenges, the issue is worsening.

Iron deficiency has serious consequences, impairing cognitive function, school performance, and motor skills.

It’s linked to chronic diseases, pregnancy complications, and economic instability.

Extreme fatigue from low iron lowers productivity, while childhood iron deficiency affects academic success and future earning potential.

Addressing this issue is critical for health and equity.

Let's unite to make iron deficiency a thing of the past

We partner with Indigenous communities to combat iron deficiency with the Lucky Iron Fish and Lucky Iron Leaf.

These simple, reusable tools add 6–8mg of iron to meals without altering taste, color, or smell. Gentle on the body and backed by 80% compliance in trials, they last up to five years, making them ideal for rural areas.

By improving iron levels, they support healthier pregnancies, stronger families, and thriving communities.
