    Will do. Iron is an essential nutrient for the human body. It has many functions in the human body. Iron is a carrier of oxygen in the body. Insufficient iron will lead to insufficient oxygen supply in the body. Insufficient lipolytic enzyme activity will make it difficult to burn fat, and basic metabolism will slow down, even Visceral function decline. And people who are iron-deficient are easily fatigued and hard to keep exercising. Therefore, iron deficiency will inevitably affect the effect of weight loss.
