  • Its because of the iron in your hemoglobin, the chemical that makes red blood cells absorb oxygen and take it to your cells. Actually, if you bleed enough, blood smells like copper, too. There is also a protein in your blood plasma (The liquid that makes blood flow through your viens/arteries) that transports opper to your bone marrow, it is called ceurloplasm. The copper delivered here creates new red blood cells.

Here's a side-note on how much iron is in your body. It may not sound like much, but it is.... There's enough iron in your body to make a 3-inch nail, weighing approximately 3 to 4 grams.
