how is iron taken up into the brain in cellular levels?

iron i think will normally be dissolved in blood after it has being oxidised by respiration! so oxygenated blood will contain iron and it will circulate the blood untill it reaches the brain. i am not sure if in the brain there is a special mechanism of takin up iron but normally cells will do that by diffusion (in cappilary tissues).

Iron pills would be the first step to increase your level.

A women should get 18 milligrams of iron each day. The problem with iron is that it's not easily absorbed...96% of the iron you take in through nutrition just passes through, while only 3% of it is absorbed. There are two kinds of iron: heme iron and non-heme iron. Heme iron, which makes up 40% of the iron in meat, poultry and fish, is well absorbed.\nNon-heme iron, which constitutes 60% of the iron in animal tissue and all the iron in plants fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts, is less well absorbed. Over-the-counter blood builders made of natural non-heme forms of iron are much safer, more absorbable, and you start seeing very good results in as little as 30 days but generally a couple of months.\nIron supplements, however, should only be taken by iron-deficient anemic people, since too much iron can be toxic. Check out the two links below...one is an article on iron consumption in women, the second is a food chart for iron.

DEVIL is partially correct.  Red blood cells are used to transport oxygen.  They also carry carbon dioxide.  Red blood cells are like little delivery vehicles.  They pick up and deliver oxygen to where it's needed and return carbon dioxide to the lungs to be exhaled.

Lead is easily absorbed through contact with the skin, ingestion or inhalation.  If I remember correctly, it binds to hemoglobin in the blood and inhibits oxygen transfer much like carbon monoxide does so it slowly smothers you to death from the inside.

Lots of stuff.  Alcohol is a poison --if you drink enough.  It dehydrates you , so i imagine the brain is also dehydrated.  i understand that heavy drinking can kill brain cells, but i don't know how much that source considered to be "heavy."

The answer is NO for both of your questions.\n\nFirst human can't take metals in their free form. Our body can only absorb/utilize metals in ionic form, such as Fe2+ (not Fe3+), Ca2+, Zn2+.\n\nThe metal ions, however, DOESN'T have to be in organic form. For example, you can consume Ferrous sulfate (FeSO4), which is pure inorganic compound or Zinc sulfate (another inorganic compound), although, obviously you can also consume oragnic salt as well, such as calcium citrate or iron fumarate.

take some iron vitamins or eat foods with high iron contents like liver (if u like liver) or just take vitamins. your low on iron

Ferrous sulphate (a type of iron tablet) usually takes about 3-4 weeks until the haemoglobin levels are back to normal. It should then be taken for another three months to replenish iron stores. It is suggested that you speak to your doctor for more accurate information specific  to your haemoglobin levels and treatment regime.

You have to take only the necessary calculated quantity of iron pills for the sufficient duration only orally. Too much may even in normal doses due to intolerance  diarrohea or costipation, nausea vomiting,  or pain in the stomach. Sometimes the blood cells may be destroyed.  Too much of iron may affect the brain also and have the problems.

IRON RICH FOODS DAILY CAN EASILY FORTIFY YOUR BLOOD WHICH CAN BECOME WEAK FROM A LACK OF FOODS RICH IN IRON. WE NEED HIGH IRON FOODS.\n\nHemoglobin is the chemical substance in red Blood cells that captures and holds oxygen by circulating throughout the lining of our lungs, and then carries this oxygen throughout our entire bodies to every tissue. This fresh oxygen is then used to burn our internal fuel for energy, which is needed for proper cell growth and development and to provide fuel other important metabolic processes. [for Blood facts and fun, see the St. Joseph™ "Pump, Pump, Pumps Your Blood" song, CLICK HERE] Iron is also needed to produce myoglobin, the oxygen reservoir in the muscle cells and cytochromes, a class of iron-containing proteins important in cell respiration as catalysts of oxidation-reduction reactions.\n\nA deficiency of iron makes us tired and apathetic, a condition known as anemia. Anemia is characterized by low levels of hemoglobin causing oxygen starvation in your tissues. Though anemia is a common condition, do not try self-diagnosing it, or try self-prescribing dietary supplements, because the same symptoms that indicate anemia can also indicate other more serious diseases, such as bleeding ulcers or even cancer. A list of foods rich in iron are helpful.\n\nfor the details.http://www.bloodbook.com/iron-foods.html

Yes-  it contains 18 mg, which is the recommended daily allowance of iron.

for energy without caffeine start taking iron supplements, it raises the number of red blood cells, which gives you more energy.

it is B complex with vitamin C and iron.the B6and B12 are very important for body for nervous system and circulatory system.Off course iron gets absorbed by the body only Ianthe presence of vit B.

the balance in a woman's body directly affects the balance in the child's body during pregnancy. iron is vital to the body.\n\nIron is essential to all organisms, except for a few bacteria. It is mostly stably incorporated in the inside of metalloproteins, because in exposed or in free form it causes production of free radicals that are generally toxic to cells. To say that iron is free doesn't mean that it is free floating in the bodily fluids. Iron binds avidly to virtually all biomolecules so it will adhere nonspecifically to cell membranes, nucleic acids, proteins etc.\n\nMany animals incorporate iron into the heme complex, an essential component of cytochromes, which are proteins involved in redox reactions (including but not limited to cellular respiration), and of oxygen carrying proteins hemoglobin and myoglobin. Inorganic iron involved in redox reactions is also found in the iron-sulfur clusters of many enzymes, such as nitrogenase (involved in the synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen) and hydrogenase. A class of non-heme iron proteins is responsible for a wide range of functions within several life forms, such as enzymes methane monooxygenase (oxidizes methane to methanol), ribonucleotide reductase (reduces ribose to deoxyribose; DNA biosynthesis), hemerythrins (oxygen transport and fixation in marine invertebrates) and purple acid phosphatase (hydrolysis of phosphate esters). When the body is fighting a bacterial infection, the body sequesters iron inside of cells (mostly stored in the storage molecule ferritin) so that it cannot be used by bacteria.
