I've been recently diagnosed with iron deficiency after ignoring the symptoms for so long, i used to feel like i was dying, things i used to enjoy became so hard to do.. i kept thinking that it was just normal fatigue but it never went away no matter how much i slept or how many vitamins i took.. it got serious and i started fainting and falling all out the sudden in public, after that i realized that there must be something wrong and that its not just a normal fatigue.. i decided to see a doctor and now im following a treatment, i tried to eat more and never forget to take my medication but i still always feel tired even if i do a really simple thing that doesn't require a lot of effort, it feels like slowly dying.. it's so hard and i hope it gets easier for every person who is experiencing it, stay strong and keep nourishing your body ❤

Your advice really worked for me. I'm a female in my early 40s and I've had low iron my whole life. I never did anything about it until about the last couple of years. My iron went up slightly. After your video, I started taking my two non-heme iron supplements in the morning and before I started eating for the day (I only start eating at lunch time). I also continued to take each iron pill with vitamin C and B12 (which I was doing before). After about 6 months, my Ferritin level went from 21 to 215!

I just want to tell anyone who experiencing the horrible shortness of breath part... Halls cough drops really take the edge off, and eating raw ginger. Also a tablespoon of black strap molasses or with hot water Sending healing to all ✨🌻

I litterally thought I was at my end of life this last year. Shortness of breath, dizzy, lightheaded for the last 12 months. I got a hold of microscope and looked at a sample of my blood and behold it was target red blood cells everywhere. I started taking iron 5 days ago and can already feel an improvement. Will definately buy a bottle of the stuff you reccomended. Thank you.

Beef Liver was my game changer along side no tea / coffee grains so I really find when I go gluten free and grain free ans eat fish / meat / liver and liver supplement it helps me along side vitamin C too ! When fall off the wagon it’s because I do stupid long hours in work and one man show as a single deaf parent u defo feel the effects of the low iron .


I say to myself - keep it simple stupid . Eat whole foods .
Don’t drink with meals .
Use apple cider and lemon water in morning before any food to keep stomach acid up ! It’s a game changer and this last month due stress Iv been slacking but this video is a great reminder !

Very helpful video! This answered a lot of my questions and clarified some confusions I had from other videos I've watched. Thank you for this.

On the nº2 advise, if you don't want to take supplements and since most vitamin C is only ascorbic acid, instead of the whole vitamin C complex, have red meat combined with fermented vegetables. The best combination would be grass-finished liver with sauerkraut

All great points that I never knew before and I've been struggling with low iron my whole freaking life! Thank you! 🙌🏼

[Elliefurtado]

This was a great educational video. Short and to the point. Thank you for all the examples as this helped me understand better. Thank you for the suggestion/recommendation for the supplement at the end.

My ferritin levels were a 4. I felt like my soul left my body. No energy at all! I am currently experiencing heavy menstrual cycles due to a permanent form of birth control. I had 5 iron infusions to see if my levels would go up. I will see my blood specialist next month I am praying for my numbers to be within Normal range.

Thank you for this. So helpful. I tried your link but it is sold out so had to go to a different amazon page.

Wonderful and truly helpful. I thank you so much. I wish I had known this all of my life. I think I am not good at absorbing non-heme iron. I will take heme. This is an important video. Thank you!

[Jewlzever]

Liver and liver supplements are a great source of heme iron as well.

Thank you for sharing! And also for considering the time it takes for the body to get adjusted ❤

[carolynw]

Praise God for this. Thanks for sharing this very valuable information. I will definitely follow your guidance.

I also read studies that it's better to take Iron every other day, instead of every day. The studies showed that the people who took Iron every day had higher levels of Hepsidin (Not sure if spelt correctly??) than those who took their Iron every other day. I have very low Iron levels due to heavy, prolonged periods and want to start taking my new (Non Heme, Iron Bisglycinate....only 14 mgs per tablet as well!) Iron every day to get it into my body quickly but then I read about taking it every other day for better absorption, so trying that.

I am taking two of the tablets a day, so will be having 28mgs which I know is still too low, but I didn't want to try anything much higher because I don't like the idea of having an upset stomach or being sick!!! I'm also taking it with lemon water for the vitamin C.

I was diagnosed as a level 4 too! Multiple times I have gone back to get my blood checked and they have been 6, 7 and now 4. I have had heavy periods too, but didn’t know they were that heavy until I started taking the pill. I just started on ferrograd C, if nothing changes I’ll be getting a iron infusion!

I have started eating beef liver to increase my iron. My daughter can’t stand liver so I am going to freeze dry it and put into gel caps for her.

[CharlesReedPi]

Thanks for the help I'll give it a shot
