Iron is an essential nutrient, critical for producing hemoglobin, the
substance in red blood cells that transports oxygen all over the body.
If you don¹t have enough iron, your body has to work a whole lot harder
to get the energy it needs, which can leave you feeling tired, weak,
irritable and unable to focus.
Many equate iron deficiency with anemia, the condition in which your
body has a lower than normal number of red blood cells. But research
shows that there's a whole other category of iron deficiency that
precedes anemia. To diagnose it, a blood test must measure ferritin
levels, the iron stores in your blood.
