Your grown iron does work your supposed to eat iron foods and take iron supplements if your anemic also get a blood test bye your doctor and the results will show if your anemic don’t give false information your not a Doctor
@@lindadurand247 yes so true! great point! you need a lot of things to absorb iron, vit C, copper (which is many different foods like bee pollen) vitamin A, D3 an K2. They all work together. Probs vit E too
Gonna say this: try to avoid calcium (milk, cheese etc) and chocolate, our body can’t absorb calcium and iron at the same time. Chocolate also has caffeine so avoid that as well since iron will make you naturally hyper (it did in my case). It’s best to drink orange juice with iron pills and try to eat something that will help the iron be absorbed into your body fast.
I got low iron from having the giardia parasite from sea swimming which also gave me a lactose intolerance (thanks uk water companies for your raw sewage releases). Posting just in case it helps anyone figure out what’s wrong. Lactose intolerance stays long after you clear the parasite.
@@doctorjanine I had low iron almost needed a blood transfusion twice, it wasn't until I had endoscopy they found I had H-pylori, once I got the antibiotics to kill the H-pylori my iron returned to normal iron.
@@shy3805 Hi, I had a case of h pylori & that took me down a good year or more to recover. Caught Covid & was hospitalized to the point of blood transfusion, that took me down & a while to recover.Both times had iron issues. I’m glad you recovered. Did you take anything to help with your iron?
I know when my iron is low if I feel cold especially in the middle of the summer also make sure you take iron supplement with food to avoid constipation
If you're a woman, birth control is the best thing to recover your iron. Never had iron issues on birth control. Been off for a year and now I'm anemic. Doctors want me back on it stat.
Ginger helps a week before your Aunt Flo comes back. Yeah, I put an inch of Ginger in my water plus Celtic sea salt or Himalayan salt. Either will be fine...just a tiny bit in it.
@@lovergirlflormarie2162 nah. I was on one where I had maybe 3 to 4 days of my period. Tbf, sometimes I chose to skip it- maybe once or twice a year depending if I had an event or something around that time. I just skipped the placebos and took the hormone ones during those times.
Don't do what I did and ignore it, mid last year I almost died because of this. Hospitalized fr too long, got better and it quickly happened again last week. The body sends signs, so pay better attention.
Horrible fatigue, loss of appetite completely (except for meat and dark chocolate, which both that iron) nausea, if i stand up to quickly i fall over or my visual goes blank. yeah i think im anemic

Low ferritin levels in Iron is one of the main causes of anemia! -menstrual -fibroids -endometriosis -abortions Low absorption - internal bleeding - heavy alcohol consumption
I told the drs how bad I was.I went years with unethical drs,RNs,Nutritionists gaslighting me,telling me my infection was in my head.I needed an iron infusion
Yes. Could be low zinc too. Probably both. For me, it’s absorption issues related to stomach acidity. I was binge eating too much sugary processed foods and raising my stomach PH. Without the acidity, you can’t absorb most vitamins and minerals, including iron.
I have been for about six years. For the past two years I have had to get iron infusions almost every week because of anemia. Had a hysterectomy in March and something still isn't adding up. I start another set of infusions the week of my Birthday. June 26th. ;( I had long beautiful hair that would continue to fall out. About two and a half years ago my hairstylist cut and donated fourteen inches of my hair and I have had a buzz cut since then. Went to her today and she said to not grow my hair out until my Doctors have me stabilized. 😢
Anemic's usually crave lots of ice. I know I use 2 get cold hands & feet and hurt durin the summertime. I had 2 run them under hot water which *really did not help. My iron levels r good now.Natural Iron u can get from iron skillets and the rust n yer old coffee pot. My x bf griped cuz I scrubbed the rust out of the pot.😂

Sickle cell patients have low iron level and are unable to take iron. Is there a tonic, vitamin or supplement that a female sickle cell patient can take to increase energy level and reduce sickling?
Low thyroid hormone causes temperature sensitive and always being cold. But interchangeably I also have low iron as well as being cold sensitive as well
1 of the reasons of low iron levels is B vitamins deficiency. I have several B vitamin deficiencies and low iron levels and supplementing with multiple B vitamins and liquid iron supplement helps
Antibiotics or sometimes clears on its own, giardia parasite has left me with iron deficiency and lactose intolerance. That was me leaving it to get better on its own so maybe antibiotics not a bad idea.
I’m trying a plant based liquid supplement..by garden of life,.it’s a 10 mg dose in which is a decent amount!! Women needs a higher dose than men …about 18 mg to 10 mg for men❣️

@@boop5287 there are approximately 450 cases of Giardia reported in Colorado each year. Children are infected more frequently than adults. This is not a huge amount and again they may have diarrhea but in the vast majority of cases, it’s not bloody diarrhea. Giardiasis is still an uncommon cause of iron deficiency anemia.
Symptoms also are of rapid heartbeat and fatigue!
I have these!

Mine one was 107 when I cheaked it in hospital😂@@asrashaikh55
Also need Vit B12, B6, Folate, Vit C and Copper to absorb iron
If iron supplementation doesn't work copper and vitamin A levels are probably low. They all work together to make iron work properly in the body.
Thank you, I just started taking vitamin A this month.
Thank you
You need vit C for iron to absorb properly

Thanks Doc... iron deficiency is an important issue these days
You forgot to say taking Vit C helps iron absorption.
Not needed for natural heme iron in red meat. Stick to the original.
Yes my doc said take no sugar cranberry juice w/ it on an empty stomach for better absorption
Yes, for non-animal meat food sources of iron, enjoy eating high vitamin C fruits or vegetables with your high-iron food. 😋

Bisglycinate did nothing for me. Heme iron is best absorbed for many!
It's the inflammation in menstrual cycles that also attribute to anemia. Inflammation in general as well.

What boost absorption: vitamin C, lactofferin.

Great info.
*Why iron bisglycemic vs iron sulfate?*
2mg of Pure copper glycinate CURED my low hemoglobin low iron low oxygen fatigue “menopause” - so simple yes!! ❤ works fast 💨
I have low iron beacause i have trouble with nose bleeding i’ve lost alot of blood by this
Low ferritin levels in Iron is one of the main causes of anemia!
-menstrual
-fibroids
-endometriosis
-abortions
Low absorption
- internal bleeding
- heavy alcohol consumption
I am going through it right now trying to find the cause.. Hoping monoferric iron will be approved cause the last 2 types of infusions didnt work
Good news indeed Thankyou ❤
I told the drs how bad I was.I went years with unethical drs,RNs,Nutritionists gaslighting me,telling me my infection was in my head.I needed an iron infusion
Thank you for this information I am low in iron ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks.
I have a Ferritin of 6 but my hemoglobin is normal. Why would this be? My doctor tells me it’s nothing to worry about.
People can have a condition called Iron deficiency without Anemia.
6 is bad. Maybe you need to get an opinion from another doctor.
My iron blood normal my doctor advised me it’s ok but trouble digesting food bloating lost appetite fatty stool
Thanks Doc.
STAND UP IRON DEFICIENCY GANG
Is anemia and iron deficiency the same thing or different like if u have iron deficiency does that mean u have anemia???
Low hemoglobin is anemia, low ferritin is iron deficiency.
So you can have;
Iron deficiency anemia
Iron deficiency without anemia
Where can I get this Iron from ? Thanks
What about cracked or broken nails?😮😢
Yes. Could be low zinc too. Probably both. For me, it’s absorption issues related to stomach acidity. I was binge eating too much sugary processed foods and raising my stomach PH. Without the acidity, you can’t absorb most vitamins and minerals, including iron.

Isn't heme iron best form?
What if you were born with low deficiency?
My hemoglobin is 18.6...the opposite...
What can I do naturally to lower that number?

It’s not the dose that is important, it’s the absorption that matters. And it’s well known plant iron is poorly absorbed.
My count was low but I think it’s because of my Gastritis attack or maybe there’s an ulcer
Never take iron. Its copper, zinc and magnesium

Don’t waste your time and energy, eating liver has the best effects.
Parasites are not a “common” cause of iron deficiency in the United States.
