An essential mineral for red blood cell production and oxygen transport. Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia are common in women of reproductive age due to menstrual blood loss, and in perimenopause when cycles may become heavier. Symptoms overlap significantly with menopausal symptoms, including fatigue, brain fog, and mood changes.

Research context compiled from published sources
Iron is required for haemoglobin synthesis (oxygen transport) and myoglobin (muscle oxygen storage). It is also a cofactor for mitochondrial enzymes involved in energy production. Iron deficiency impairs these functions, causing fatigue, cognitive impairment, and reduced exercise tolerance before anaemia develops.
