Iron is a mineral concentrate in the blood which is present in every living cell.  Iron combines with protein and copper in making hemoglobin.

Hemoglobin transports oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the tissues, which need oxygen to maintain the basic life functions, iron builds up the quality of the blood and increases resistance to stress and disease.

Iron is also needed for the formation of myoglobin, which is found only in muscle tissue.  Iron is present in enzymes that promote protein metabolism and it works with other nutrients to improve respiratory action.  Cooper and calcium need to be present for iron to function properly.
