Iron is a main part of hemoglobin, which is a protein in your red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body, and oxygen binds to the iron that is in the hemoglobin. Therefore having low iron can make it harder for your body to make red blood cells and less oxygen will be carried to your body, causing fatigue and other problems.
