Iron: More Than Just Tiredness
If you’ve been dragging yourself through the day, running on caffeine, or noticing your hair isn’t what it used to be… it might not just be “getting older.” Low iron is one of the most common hidden deficiencies - especially in women.
Here’s the thing:
Iron is what lets your blood carry oxygen → no iron, no energy.
It feeds your brain → focus, memory, and mood all depend on it.
Even your hair & nails → they’ll often show the first signs something’s off (mine started falling out!🧑🦲).
But here’s the catch: Not all iron is created equal.
Heme iron (from animal foods) is absorbed best.
Non-heme iron (from plants) needs Vitamin C to get through.
Coffee, tea, and calcium? They can block your body from using it.
This is why you can eat “healthy” and still feel like you’re running on empty.
🩸 Supplements don’t replace food, but they can help rebuild your stores so your body can get back to making energy like it’s supposed to.
