If I have too much iron why does iron supplements help my fatigue though? I can't function properly at all without high dosesPeat would say it's very dangerous to be supplementing iron. If you're fatigued, you probably have too much dysregulated iron which is bound in the tissues.
299 ferritin is pretty high, and by itself, isn't a measure of iron status. Some would say this is a potential sign of iron overload.
I've been digging into Morley Robbin's work of late on this subject. His book "Cure your fatigue" dives right into the very misconception of iron and it's dangers. Also, what to do about it.
Could be placebo. I mean that in a respectful way.If I have too much iron why does iron supplements help my fatigue though? I can't function properly at all without high doses
Nope 100% not a placebo, I've come off iron or reduced the dosages several times with same results, there's no way I go from barely functioning not being able to go gym, feel severely drained, head in a constant foggy state to decent energy ,clear headed , can actually function because of placebo. And its not like I actually was thinking the iron supplements was going to work when I first started taking them anyways.Could be placebo. I mean that in a respectful way.
@Jing Your experience resonates mine when I last took iron some years ago (It was the only supplement that actually helped me eliminate my fatigue and hair shedding). I believe foods high in Manganese, turmeric, dairy should be kept low to keep iron levels steady.Nope 100% not a placebo, I've come off iron or reduced the dosages several times with same results, there's no way I go from barely functioning not being able to go gym, feel severely drained, head in a constant foggy state to decent energy ,clear headed , can actually function because of placebo.
