All of the tissues in our body need a near constant supply of oxygen to maintain life. We maintain this oxygen delivery by the red cells in our blood. These have an iron-containing protein called hemoglobin, which is a perfect transporter for oxygen, in that it both picks up and releases oxygen in an exact and targeted way.
The average man has about 2 grams of iron in his blood cells at any given time (women have about 1.6 grams). If the dietary iron intake falls below daily needs and this storage amount goes down, the ability to tolerate bursts of exercise will deteriorate. The reduction in blood count related to having low iron stores (or other nutrient deficiencies, including of vitamin B12, folate, copper, and vitamin A) is called anemia.
In addition to the key role iron plays in transporting oxygen to tissues, it also is necessary to support proper metabolism for muscles and other active organs. Almost all of the cells in our body burn dietary calories to create energy through a process that requires iron. When iron stores get low, this process gets compromised, and generalized fatigue can occur. Copper is necessary to mobilize iron from storage for use in blood cells and other areas. Because of this, deficiency of copper may play a role in anemia.
For most people, the checks and balances on iron absorption and excretion keep our body stores in a fairly narrow range. This is a good thing, as too much stored iron can help to foster free radical damage to the liver and other organs.
What does it do? Iron is part of the hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of the blood. Iron-deficient people tire easily in part because their bodies are starved for oxygen. Iron is also part of myoglobin, which helps muscle cells store oxygen. Without enough iron, ATP (the fuel the body runs on) cannot be properly synthesized. As a result, some iron-deficient people become fatigued even when their hemoglobin levels are normal.
Although iron is part of the antioxidant enzyme catalase, iron is not generally considered an antioxidant, because too much iron can cause oxidative damage. Because of this, one should not take iron supplementation unless you have an iron deficiency.
Iron may be of benefit relative to the following conditions:
- Athletic performance (for treatment of iron-deficiency only)
- Childhood intelligence (for deficiency)
- Depression (for deficiency)
- Iron-deficiency anemia
- Menorrhagia (heavy menstruation) (for treatment of iron- deficiency only)
- Breast-feeding support
- Canker sores
- Celiac disease (for treatment of iron-deficiency only)
- Pre- and post-surgery health (if deficient or for major surgery)
- Pregnancy and Postpartum support (with medical supervision)
- Restless legs syndrome (only if iron- deficiency)
- Alzheimer’s disease (in combination with Co-Enzyme Q10 and vitamin B6)
- Dermatitis Herpetiformis
- HIV support
- Infertility (female) (for treatment of iron-deficiency only)
Who is likely to be deficient?
- Vegetarians eat less iron than non-vegetarians, and the iron they eat is somewhat less absorbable. As a result, vegetarians are more likely to have reduced iron stores. However, iron deficiency is not usually caused by a lack of iron in the diet alone. An underlying cause, such as iron loss in menstrual blood, often exists.
- Pregnant women
- marathon runners
- people who take Aspirin
- those who have parasitic infections, hemorrhoids, ulcers, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, gastrointestinal cancers, or other conditions that cause blood loss or malabsorption are likely to become deficient.
