Iron is a mineral that cells use to produce energy from sugars and to maintain healthy organ function via red blood cells, which transport the oxygen from our lungs to the other tissues around our body. The brain also needs a good supply of iron for normal functioning and development. Women need more iron at certain life stages where menstrual bleeding keeps them losing iron through monthly bleed-outs during this time, namely while pregnant or breastfeeding.
