What Does Iron Do? Your body needs iron to make hemoglobin, the part of your red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. Every cell in your body needs iron to make energy. Not eating enough iron can lead to iron-deficiency anemia. People with a higher risk for iron-deficiency anemia include:
The body excretes very little iron; basal losses, menstrual blood loss, and the need of iron for the synthesis of new tissue are compensated by the daily absorption of a small proportion of dietary iron (1 to 2 mg/day). Body iron is primarily found in red blood cells, which contain 3.5 mg of iron per g of hemoglobin.
