Iron has a central role in transporting oxygen in the body. It is an important part of hemoglobin in red blood cells and myoglobin within cells, to transport oxygen in the body. Iron helps prevent iron-deficiency anemia, which is the most common deficiency in the United States and the most common cause of anemia in the U.S., especially among children and women during their childbearing years (Mahan & Stump, 1996). Iron is necessary for iron-deficiency anemia, in which red blood cells are not able to carry enough oxygen to meet the body's needs. Symptoms of anemia include fatigue, poor concentration, and an increase in colds and infections. Iron also helps strengthen the immune system and helps in the manufacturing of collagen, a protein that builds connective tissues. In addition, a number of enzymes for body processes require adequate iron, such as the production of the neurotransmitters, serotonin and dopamine, which are brain chemicals that influence mood and behavior. Iron is recommended to be part of a daily regimen for Women's Health, Prenatal.
