Iron is a trace mineral required for red blood cell formation and adequate formation of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in the blood and myoglobin, a similar protein that carries oxygen in the muscle tissue. Iron also plays a central role in many vital biochemical pathways and enzyme systems including those involved with energy metabolism, neurotransmitter production (serotonin and dopamine), collagen formation and immune system function.

The highest Iron requirements are generally found in normally menstruating women. Young children, adult men and elderly women probably do not require supplemental Iron in their diets and should consult their physician before taking Iron supplements. Good food sources of Iron are liver and other organ meats, red meat like beef, and legumes such as beans and peas.
