The Function of Iron
The primary role of iron relates to the ability of red blood
cells to adequately carry oxygen for use throughout the entire body.
- Fatigue
- To prevent fatigue, iron is needed by the body to
make hemoglobin rich blood, which transports oxygen to the cells.
- Iron is needed for adenosine triphosphate production
(ATP), which is essential for cellular energy and proper cell function.
- Exercise
- Replace losses due to increased physical activity.
Iron is lost through sweat and through bleeding of the digestive tract from the
jarring motion of exercise.
- Studies indicate that 34% of female runners and 8%
male runners are iron deficient.
- Pregnancy
- Iron is needed for proper placenta development
- Iron is needed for the prevention of pre-term and
low birth weight babies
- Studies estimate that up to 58% of pregnant women
are iron deficient.
- Pediatric
- Iron is essential during the first eight months for
brain growth and the effects of anemia may be associated with developmental
delays in both motor and cognitive abilities.
- Treatment Duration

- When iron deficiency is left untreated, it can lead
to conditions that are more serious (see Anemia.com)
