    Glossary Iron

    vital mineral crucial for oxygen transport in blood

    Iron is a vital mineral that plays a crucial role in the body, particularly in the formation of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen. Adequate iron levels are essential for overall health, including hair growth, as iron deficiency can lead to conditions like anemia and contribute to hair loss or alopecia.
