About

An essential mineral for oxygen transport and mitochondrial energy production. Iron deficiency — affecting 15-30% of obese individuals — impairs exercise capacity and thyroid function. Supplementation should only be undertaken when deficiency is confirmed, as excess iron is pro-oxidant.

How It Works

Iron is essential for oxygen transport (hemoglobin) and mitochondrial electron transport chain (cytochrome enzymes). Iron deficiency — even without anemia — impairs aerobic capacity, reduces exercise tolerance, and decreases thyroid hormone synthesis (iron-dependent TPO enzyme), lowering metabolic rate. Correcting iron deficiency restores exercise capacity and thermogenesis.
