For most people, iron is not a supplement that should be taken routinely “just in case.” Unlike some vitamins and minerals, too much iron can be harmful, and the body has limited ways to get rid of excess iron.
What does iron do?
Iron is essential for:
Carrying oxygen in the blood (hemoglobin)
Energy production
Brain function and concentration
Immune system health
Physical endurance and exercise performance
Signs of low iron
Common symptoms of iron deficiency may include:
Fatigue or low energy
Shortness of breath with activity
Frequent headaches
Dizziness
Pale skin
Hair loss
Cold hands and feet
Restless legs syndrome
Poor concentration or “brain fog”
Should the average person supplement?
Generally, no. Iron supplementation is usually best reserved for people who:
Have confirmed iron deficiency on blood work
Have iron-deficiency anemia
Experience heavy menstrual bleeding
Are pregnant (under medical guidance)
Have certain digestive disorders that impair absorption
Follow highly restrictive diets and have documented low iron
