Iron is an element that can help promote a healthy and efficient immune system. It is a component of enzymes found within immune cells that chew up foreign substances. Iron is also involved in the entire process of respiration. It is needed for oxidative phosphorylation and is a key component in hemoglobin.*

Iron deficiency is one of the most common deficiency diseases in the world, even though iron is a common element that is among the ten most abundant elements in the universe and in the earth’s crust.

Iron’s most critical role in the body is the production of hemoglobin, a component of blood that helps carry oxygen to the tissues. Hemoglobin is found in our red blood cells and makes up over 95% of the protein in the red blood cell and accounts for about 10% of the weight of whole blood. Not only is iron required for the production of hemoglobin, but it is critical to the whole respiration process.

Iron is involved in many processes in the body. Further, various enzymes depend on iron to function, especially the cytochrome P450 systems of the liver. These enzymes serve the important function of helping remove toxic substances from the body. Iron is also essential to energy production.

Iron works with many enzymes in biochemical reactions in the body. However, to be used most efficiently iron must be present with proper amounts of copper, cobalt, manganese, vitamin C, and all B-complex vitamins.

Women need more iron due to the loss of blood during the menstrual cycle, and the need for iron is also increased during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
