Iron (Fe) | the essential trace mineral needed by you | All you want to know about Iron
What does iron do in our bodies?

Iron is a significant blood constituent essential for hemoglobin in red blood cells. The main job of mineral iron is to carry oxygen in the hemoglobin of red blood cells in our bloodstream. About two-thirds of our bodies' iron is in hemoglobin.
Hemoglobin takes oxygen to body cells. In body cells, oxygen is used to produce energy.

The red colour in the blood is due to the iron-containing protein hemoglobin, and a deficiency of iron decreases hemoglobin production.
Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein in red blood cells that bind oxygen from the lungs and transport oxygen through the bloodstream to body cells.
Iron is used to make myoglobin, a protein that provides oxygen to muscles,
Iron is used to make some hormones and connective tissue.
Iron supports a healthy immune system.
Iron helps in brain development.
Iron helps change beta-carotene to vitamin A
Iron helps produce collagen. Collagen is a fibrous scleroprotein in bone, cartilage, tendon, and other connective tissue. Collagen is the main structural protein in the extracellular matrix found in the body's various connective tissues.
Iron helps make body proteins.


Iron in the diet, where iron is mainly found? The Food Sources of Iron
There are primarily four dietary food sources of iron:
they are :
1) heme iron from animal-based meat;
2) nonheme iron from plant-based foods such as leafy green vegetables and whole grains bread;
3) leached iron from cast-iron utensils when cooking foods inside them; lastly, many foods on today’s supermarket shelves are enriched or fortified with iron, for example, iron-enriched flour and iron-fortified breakfast cereals.


Iron in the diet comes from both plant and animal sources.
The iron from plant-based foods is nonheme.
Much of the iron in animal products is heme iron.
Heme iron is found in two animal proteins: hemoglobin in blood and myoglobin in muscle.
Meat, poultry, and fish are good sources of heme iron.
Heme iron accounts for about 5%-10% of the dietary iron in western countries.
