Iron is a mineral found in every cell in the body. It is essential in making red blood cells, more particularly haemoglobin, which carries oxygen around the body.
If you don't have enough iron, your body can't make enough healthy haemoglobin to carry the oxygen - the cells all over your body will not get adequate levels of oxygen. This leads to fatigue which can affect everything from your brain function to your immune system's ability to fight off infections.
