Iron is an incredibly important mineral for
health. Not only is it a crucial component for
many biochemical reactions in our bodies, it is
also required for proper oxygen transport. And
since many of our users are athletes, iron
deserves even more of a spotlight. While iron is
an essential nutrient for everyone, active
individuals have higher needs as there is a
higher rate of red blood cell (the oxygen
transporter) destruction associated with
activity. Additionally, many athletes are overly
health conscious and may steer away from high
iron foods, like beef, for health reasons, which
can lead to inadequate intake. Something we
actually see quite often, is taking too much iron
at one time. Clinically high levels of serum
iron while you are supplementing can mean that
you are taking too much iron at once and your
system cant do much with it. If you have high
serum iron and a low ferritin level, consider
breaking up your supplement into smaller doses
throughout the day.

We recommend starting at 14mg once per day and
increasing to 14mg twice per day if your
biomarkers are not improving (ferrous sulfate is
our recommended form of iron supplement). It's
also important to alert your physician to your
iron levels and supplementation in case your low
levels of ferritin indicate something more
serious. Knowing your iron marker levels is
important for athletes, premenopausal females,
those fighting fatigue, frequent blood donors,
and anyone else generally interested in their
health. But once you know them, having the tools
to improve or maintain them is just as
important. One of the discomfiting
contradictions of living in the Information Age
is the realization that a surplus of information
doesnt necessarily lead you closer to the truth.
Were constantly bombarded by contradictory sets
of facts from every corner of the internet,
making it almost impossible to know what is
right. Except for maybe politics, this is
probably most true in personal health.

Do you have a glass of red wine every night?
Thats very goodunless, of course, it is bad.
What about dark chocolate? Eating that is very
bad for you, unless, of course, it is good.
Heres a supplement that doctors Dont Want You
to Know About, which, in the amped-up carnival
barker argot of internet scams, is a good
thing. One of the areas of contention is iron
supplements for older adults. Iron is an
important mineral, and iron deficiencies can lead
to serious health issues. For that reason, iron
supplements are a huge seller and are often
pushed toward older adults with the idea that
they can prevent anemia and help boost
energy. The first question is why do we need
iron? At the most basic level, iron contributes
to the production of red blood cells, which, not
to put too fine a medical point to it, are good.
When your body is unable to produce the required
amount of red blood cells, you could face anemia.

Obviously, not everyone needs the same amount of
iron. Oddly, children, especially infants, need a
lot of iron, even more than adults. The first
year of life and the years between 14 and 18 are
important years for both men and women. The need
for iron changes as we age, but once we pass
puberty, it remains consistent for most of our
adult lives. Men between the ages of 19 and 50
require 8mg of iron a day, with women in that age
(prime childbearing years) requiring 18mg. These
numbers go up during pregnancy and
lactation. After roughly 50, a mans requirement
stays the same, but a womans dramatically drops.
After menopause, a woman also requires only as
much iron as men dojust 8mg a day.
