Iron deficiency
Iron carries oxygen to all cells in the body and takes part in many processes in the body. It cannot be replaced by anything else. All iron comes from the diet and when not sufficiently present, levels will drop. Deficiency affects the quality of life and must be treated.
Sometimes iron therapy is difficult..
Non-heme iron must disintegrate before any uptake is possible. Not-absorbed, reactive free iron ions remain in the stomach and give side-effects.
Heme iron is absorbed easily as a whole unit.
Deficiency in women.
Women who menstruate for three days or more almost always need an iron supplement to compensate for blood loss. Heavy menstruation and childbirth are significant sources of blood loss for women of childbearing age.
The body regulates uptake.
The only exception to this is sudden large overdoses of iron. This can happen for instance when children believe iron tablets to be candy. This is very dangerous and the reason they should be kept out of reach.
Losec stops iron absorption.
Proton-pump inhibitors are a group of drugs whose main action is a reduction of gastric acid production. Usage is very common. This often results in iron deficiency, which untreated will lead to potentially lethal anemia.
Hair loss and iron deficiency.
Many people suffer from excessive loss of hair and this can be very traumatizing. However, this is quite common and many times it has to do with low iron values.

Iron and the immune system.
“If iron deficiency anemia is left untreated, it can make you more susceptible to illness and infection, as a lack of iron affects the body's natural defence system (the immune system).”
Toxic cadmium and iron deficiency.
Cadmium is stored mainly in the skeleton and once there replaces and blocks much-needed calcium uptake in the bone structure leading to osteoporosis. Therefore the risk for osteoporosis is considerable for those who have low iron counts.
The role of menstruation.
Iron balance is about what’s coming in and what is lost normally by the body. Women who menstruate for three days or more almost always need a supplement of iron to compensate for the blood loss.
Why is folic acid so important?
The so-called neural tube evolution is hampered by a lack of folic acid in the mother. The risk of birth defect is then high. If the baby is born with spinal defect it will be crippled for life.
