Iron is a necessary mineral in the body as it has many important functions. Iron is the transporter of oxygen moving it from the lungs as hemoglobin and plays a major role in tissue and enzyme interaction. It also is an important part of proteins and metabolism. It is necessary in formation of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. The body stores about 15% of its iron for future use for when proper nutritional intake is lacking. When food is ingested the body controls the amount of iron that is absorbed. When iron levels get too low its functions may not be able to perform properly and can cause interference with important bodily functions which could lead to death.
When the body experiences low levels of iron it is known as anemia. This is one of the more common conditions due to improper nutrition. When anemia occurs it lowers the amounts of oxyhemoglobin in the mucus membranes and the skin. This causes pallor of the skin and discoloration of the gums. It also causes weakness and fatigue. Anemia develops slowly which can cause lack of diagnosis until it becomes extreme. Breathing problems can occur in severe cases and some people experience strange food cravings along with loss of hair and dizzineness. Other symptoms of iron deficiency are heart palpitations, ringing in ears, insomnia, constipation, fainting, depression, numbness and tingling, shortness of breath, muscle twitches, itchy skin, lack of appetite, weak and brittle nails, mouth lesions and menstrual irregularities.
