Iron is an essential mineral with numerous health benefits, including preventing anemia, strengthening the immune system, and promoting sleep quality and fetal health. Iron deficiency causes a lack of concentration, fatigue, and anemia.

Iron is essential in making hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells. These red blood cells help carry oxygen throughout your body. Six percent of iron can also be found in other essential proteins and another 25% is stored in your body in a blood protein called ferritin.
