Iron

Iron

Iron or Fe is found in every cell in the body. It is always combined with protein. Its major function is to join with protein and Copper to make hemoglobin, which takes oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the tissues. Iron is also necessary to make myoglobin, which is only found in the muscles. Iron is found in enzymes and must be in the presence of Calcium and Copper to function the way it should.
