Aug 14, 2019 at 16:03 comment added stix You're going to need more than just a replacement for iron, you're going to need a whole new molecule that isn't hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is designed to work with iron, and its molecular structure wouldn't allow anything but a metal to be used (it's a chelated compound). Also: The liver works very hard to recycle iron already.
