It’s easy to get your ferritin tested. Even if you aren’t showing an overt symptom, you may not have an optimal amount in you.

I have the opposite problem. Too much iron. Apparently, it is a genetic problem.

Cast iron frying pans are a good source of iron.

Vegans are all crazy. A little bit of red meat might help them.

I can concur after I ran into a pullup station in the gym. My head hit right into the bar. So in this case the low hanging iron bar caused me problems and some memory loss for a little bit.

Little known: Feroportin is the transmitter of iron, both from the intestine into the blood, and from the blood into cells. Iron in the blood is toxic. The liver monitors blood iron, and releases hepcidin when iron levels are to high. Hepcidin inhibits the transporting action of feroportin, and limits the import of new iron. Feroportin also limits the import of iron into cells.

With leaky gut excess iron can flood the blood from the intestines. The liver responds with copious amounts of hepcidin. The hepcidin’s action inhibits the import of iron into cells, but does little to stem the iron flow from the leaky gut into the blood.

It really is astonishing how little we the public get for our money of medical research...
