Most types of Iron are magnetic, however depending on its composition and purity, there are kinds that are not magnetic. For example, Steel is mostly Iron, Carbon, and a few other lesser materials, and can be magnetic. Pure Iron is of course magnetic. The iron in your blood, however, is not the magnetic variety. It all depends on the composition.
