Weakness
Iron overload in people with hemochromatosis would affect how the body produces and uses energy. In general, iron is an important mineral that is responsible for carrying oxygen around the body. This means it plays a key role in both physical and mental performance. An abnormally high level of iron in the body might lead to overall weakness, especially around muscles and joints that iron accumulates the most. As for the mental side, you might experience reduced stamina, increased irritability, as well as a lack of focus for the whole day. [3]
