Iron
Curated research articles on iron (includes iron deficiency + iron toxicity).
Iron is an essential mineral critical for oxygen transport, energy production, and cellular function. It is a key component of hemoglobin, allowing red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body, and also supports mitochondrial activity and brain function.
Within this section, you’ll find curated research exploring iron’s role in anemia, fatigue, cognitive health, and immune function, as well as its interaction with other nutrients such as copper and vitamin A. This includes discussion on iron metabolism, absorption, storage (ferritin), and how both deficiency and excess can impact the body.
