Chronic Low Iron In Females

[brongfogboy]

I'd like to discuss low Iron levels in females. I know someone who has low energy unless she supplements with Iron every day. Blood tests show her Iron is low unless she supplements with it. It's my opinion that the classic "menstrual cycles cause low iron in women" doesn't make sense. There are millions of women who have menstrual cycles and feel fine without Iron. There is some type of pathological or genetic problem that causes this and I believe it can be resolved by treating some underlying problem or supplementing a deficiency.



Any ideas?

Probably low thyroid function. For some reason people who are hypothyroid become anemic and stay anemic in spite of supplements.
