If you have Iron Deficiency Anemia then this video may help you more than any other because so many people (including doctors) don't know this important fact. Tannins block your bodies ability to absorb Iron when consumed before, during, after a meal rich in iron. Don't let tannins keep you Iron Deficient. Avoid tannins so you can absorb more of the iron your body needs!
In addition to the foods mentioned in this video, Avocados and Olives also contain tannins...

Only people with a confirmed diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia should consider supplementing their iron intake, and even then, it can be risky. However, when used orally and appropriately those age 14 and older with adequate iron stores, iron supplements are safe when used in doses below the tolerable upper intake level of 45 mg per day of elemental iron. Iron in multivitamins are usually well below this and typically don’t cause excess iron. The upper limit is not meant to apply to those who receive iron under medical supervision or those who are treating iron deficiency.

Because the human body has no mechanism to rid itself of excess iron, we evolved to regulate our absorption of iron. If we have low iron stores, our intestines boost their iron absorption. If our iron stores are too high, our intestines block the absorption.

But this only works with the primary source of iron in the human diet—the iron found in plant foods. However, our digestive system cannot regulate the iron in ingested blood—heme iron. The iron in animal foods can go right through our intestinal barrier—even if we already have too much in our system.

So how to I make sure I’m getting the right amount of iron? Simple, by eating lots of healthy iron-rich foods, like chickpeas and pumpkin seeds, while consuming vitamin C-rich foods in the same meal, such as citrus fruits, broccoli, bell peppers, which can improve plant iron absorption. I also would advise avoiding drinking tea and coffee with your meals because this can impair iron absorption.

Check your iron levels at least once a year or every 6 months for more accuracy. This can be done at your primary car physician and is most of the time covered by insurance.

So in conclusion I’m classifying specific iron supplements are harmful unless they are included with a multivitamin. I would never outright supplement with doses higher than the upper limit unless of course you’re under the supervision of a medical provider. I would highly recommend getting your iron from your diet and monitoring it through blood tests.

Iron is a double-edged sword. If we don't absorb enough, we risk anemia, but if we absorb too much we may increase our risk of cancer, heart disease, and a number of inflammatory conditions. Because the human body has no mechanism to rid itself of excess iron, one should choose plant-based (non-heme) sources over which our body has some control. This is another reason why Plant Protein is Preferable (http://nutritionfacts.org/vide....o/plant-protein-pref

Much of the answer to this question comes down to why your ferritin or iron is low in the first place. If you had acute blood loss and are no longer losing blood then your iron levels should come up quickly generally averaging about 5-10 points on your ferritin levels each month.

Remember your ferritin is a storage hub for iron so it will often go up slower than your serum iron and iron saturation.

Once your body has filled up your transferrin pool (transferrin is the protein that buses iron around in your blood to its place of need in the cells), then iron stores in ferritin will start building.

There are a few factors that can hinder iron optimization:

- Heavy menstrual cycles
- Running
- Low thyroid function
- Gut bacteria

Finally, it also matters what type of iron you are consuming. Iron taken up via a Hydrolyzed rice protein complex is the most efficient way I have seen in 12 years of practice and 1000s of iron doses.

Iron Tablets Side Effects:

• Stomach upset
• Nausea (feeling sick)
• Stomach ache
• Diarrhea
• Constipation

These usually improve as your body gets used to the iron supplements. If the side effects continue to be a problem for you, contact the healthcare professional who prescribed the iron supplements and discuss the possible options I have recommended in the video with them.

How Iron Supplements work for iron deficiency?

Iron is needed for the production of hemoglobin, which is an essential ingredient in red blood cells. It is a mineral that’s super important for your health and Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the US.

All of your cells contain some iron, but most of the iron in your body is actually in your red blood cells. It helps our muscles store and use oxygen, which is what essentially gives you life. Its also a part of a very important protein in our bodies called hemoglobin, which helps carry oxygen from our lungs to the rest of our bodies. And When we don’t have enough iron, these functions can slow down leaving us to feel weak and fatigued, making it harder to maintain our body temperatures, it can decrease immune function, and can cause iron deficiency anemia.

Iron deficiency anemia happens when our bodies have an increased need for iron:
-Pregnancy
-Poor absorption of the iron itself
-If you are a vegetarian and have to rely on only non-heme sources of iron from plants
-If you've had major blood loss.

In any case if you are taking iron supplements, available in capsules, tablets, chewables, and liquids, the most common one being ferrous sulfate at 325 mg, there are important tips you should know that can help you make the best use of that iron correctly and help relieve iron deficiency.

1.) Iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach. Food can heavily decrease its absorption. Milk, calcium, high fiber foods, caffeine and antacids should not be taken at the same time. A good rule of thumb is to take it 1 hour before you eat, or 2 hours after you eat. Research also shows, that if you take your iron supplement with a drink containing Vitamin C, like orange juice, it can actually help improve the absorption.

2.) Iron tablets may cause other drugs you are taking to not work as well, these include: tetracyclines, penicillins, and ciprofloxacin and drugs used for hypothyroidism, Parkinson disease, and seizures. So talk to your doctor or pharmacist letting them know you take iron supplements before you take any of these. Thirdly:

3.) Lets say You start taking iron on an empty stomach but it has left you with stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea, and feeling sick: The good thing is that this will go away on its own over time when your body gets used to it. But if it doesnt: Your doctor can lower the dose and work its way up slowly to the preferred level or they can switch to a different iron supplement. If you still feel discomfort, speak to your doctor to see if its okay to take it with a small bit of food to avoid these side effects.

4.) Iron supplements can have side effects, so besides stomach discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting. It can leave your stool looking black, which is normal as it may be a sign that the tablets are working correctly. It can be alarming at first but dont be worried. With that being said, if your stool is tarry, has red streaks in it, let your doctor know then, to go from there.

5.) Liquid forms of iron can stain your teeth,so try mixing the iron with water or other liquids like orange juice and drinking the medicine with a straw.

Overall though, most people respond well to taking iron supplements, and your levels should return to normal after 2 months of iron therapy for most people. But You may need to continue taking supplements for another 6 to 12 months to build up the body's iron stores in the bone marrow. Never hesitate to ask your doctor or pharmacist how long you should be taking them or if you have any questions at all.

Too much iron over time can cause iron accumulation in your organs and tissues. Some people have a genetic problem that makes it difficult to eliminate iron if it accumulates too much.

Potential side effects of too much iron include the following:
1. Cancer
2. Liver disease
3. Heart disease
4. Low testosterone
5. Low libido
6. Diabetes
7. Chronic fatigue syndrome
8. Infertility
9. Neurodegeneration
10. Inflammatory diseases

Iron deficiency is one of the most common mineral deficiencies, but iron can also be dangerous if you’re getting too much. Iron toxicity is one of the most underdiagnosed and overlooked conditions.

When you take iron supplements, you don't absorb very much. The excess iron accumulates in the digestive tract, causing constipation, nausea, diarrhea, bloating, and irritation of the colon. The type of iron in iron supplements feeds pathogens.

Red meat is a better source of iron. Heme iron from red meat and fish is absorbed much more easily. It goes straight into the bloodstream. Red meat also has other nutrients like B vitamins, zinc, and selenium. High-quality protein also helps to balance iron.

Many processed foods contain added iron in the forms of ferrous fumarate, ferrous sulfate, and ferrous gluconate. The most common sources of iron are supplements, fortification, and cooking with cast iron cookware. Liver damage will also cause you to accumulate iron.

A lack of copper is a common cause of dysfunctional iron because copper helps control iron in the body. Many enzymes dependent on copper relate directly to the control of iron.

The first enzyme involved with copper converts iron into a less accumulative and less toxic form. Copper also allows you to transport iron through the body. Copper is involved in a powerful antioxidant that reduces oxidation caused by iron!

Glyphosate, antibiotics, high fructose corn syrup, and wheat products can cause copper deficiency. Iron deficiency anemia may really be iron dysfunctional anemia, which is often related to a copper deficiency. Oysters, shellfish, and organ meats are the best food sources of copper.
