A member asked:

Wat happens if your iron gets too low?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low blood count: Iron is critical for the formation of red blood cells which carry oxygen to your entire body. If you iron stores get too low, not enough is available for this critical function and you will make less efficient red cells termed anemia causing lowered energy, lethargy and increased susceptibility to other kinds of illness. Iron is readily available and cheap over the counter.
