Athletes, especially female athletes and vegetarians, are at higher risk of iron deficiency (anemia), which can lead to fatigue, poor performance, and impaired recovery. Dietary sources include red meat, poultry, fortified cereals, and dark leafy greens. If you suspect a deficiency, get tested by a doctor before supplementing, as too much iron can be harmful.
