Our cells use oxygen to make energy from the food we eat. Iron also is needed to keep the immune system healthy and help brain cells work normally. This 2-page fact sheet is a minor revision written by Linda B. Bobroff and Jennifer Hillan, and published by the Department of Family, Youth and Community Sciences, November 2017.
