Iron Facts
Iron is an essential mineral central to hemoglobin (blood) and myoglobin (muscle) for oxygen transport and storage. It also supports cellular energy production and immune function. Dietary iron is heme (animal) and non-heme (plant/fortified foods); absorption differs by form and meal composition.
Key Benefits of Iron:
- Supports energy and stamina by helping deliver oxygen to muscles and tissues.
- Supports oxygen delivery to the brain, which is essential for normal cognitive function.
- Maintains immune resilience through its role in white blood cell function.
Why it Matters:
Even mild deficiency without anemia can impair cognitive and physical performance ¹.
