It’s #NationalRunningDay! Did you know that running can cause low iron? Inflammation from pounding on the pavement elevates levels of a protein called hepcidin, which reduces iron absorption. That’s why our iron supplement includes over ten anti-inflammatory ingredients.

June is Men’s Health Month. Did you know that 3.5% of US men are anemic — and even more are low iron? Iron deficiency in men can occur due to GI issues (internal bleeding), chronic inflammation, infection, response to medication, or low dietary intake (vegetarian).

@DSM888 @cocteautriplets @markrustbucket Cast iron cool cause it boosts iron levels

@cocteautriplets @markrustbucket Cast iron is not complex to treat but requires - clean metal with salts removed - low sustained rh then traditional oil finish or zn primer, mio and hi oil gloss. The oily appearance is coming from an original coating or incompatible paint on top.

@tradertrav @chrisboettcher9 We got you with a low dose of iron and a full complement of other nutrients: protein, prebiotic, MCT, vitamin/mineral, antioxidant, omega-3

Biomarkers are crucial for understanding health, vitality, and longevity. Here are the 7 most important metrics to keep track of (and what they mean):

@judgedbymycover Low iron affects dopamine tho. So it may be linked to depression 😔 Which is to say that better iron might help improve mood.

Like ma'am.. I'm depressed. Low iron? That's where your brain took you? Lol

I love how me, being a black therapist..being the daughter of a child psychologist mother...checks on me to ask how I'm feeling. When I explain present symptoms. Her first thought..."Is your Iron low?"

@stardust_femme A modern drama in three parts. It is known by many.

About to donate blood and considering eating a muffin but what if my iron is a little too low and I eat a muffin for nothing

@ChiquitaIrl @Palmtreebeach @acweyand Below 12 is typically considered low. So you are way down there 😔 Hopefully you can boost it. We’re here to help

Iron deficiency with or without anemia is incredibly common in people who menstruate. And we are learning more all the time about why that’s such a problem… michiganmedicine.org/health-lab/cou…

@Palmtreebeach @acweyand Ferritin is involved in iron storage, but it also has other functions. It can be increased due to inflammation or other stressors. So those stressors can be how a person with low iron has high ferritin. In these cases, hemoglobin, TIBC, and MCHC are important to consider.

@acweyand I'm still trying to figure out how I can have low iron and high ferritin. I wish I understood all of this stuff.

A lot of kids are low iron! They do not have stored iron like adults. They also might be picky or sensitive eaters, which limits their ability to maintain and store iron. We definitely think it’s something to be on top of 💪

@Wellwherethere @acweyand Low iron affects dopamine, which is the happy reward system for the brain. It also means you get less oxygen, which is what they look at in MRI to see how the brain works.

@acweyand Low iron for me presents as a severe depressive episode. Thankfully the first time I presented to the GP about it, they ran some blood tests rather than give me antidepressants straight away. I had an iron infusion and felt hugely better 2-3wks later.

@UF_Grace @acweyand Sounds like you need more iron! Trust your body. We wrote about ways to increase iron here: smarteatspantry.com/how-to-increas… The options are safe and effective for many.

@acweyand I've had low iron saturation and high UIBC &/or TIBC every time we've checked the past 4yrs. My PCP said that just how I am & she's not worried, despite how miserable I am from a million random symptoms + POTS. Only recently did a specialist take it seriously bc I pushed for it.

@JJ9828 Low iron can feel like that 😕, affecting energy, cognition, strength, digestion, and more. It is very underdiagnosed. We’re here to help! There are a lot of ways to improve iron status. We wrote about it here. smarteatspantry.com/how-to-increas…

I'm scared to death my hematologist is missing something because I only see her maybe five minutes every six months. I have anxiety that I'm actually dying very slowly and they're just not seeing it.

Some days are harder than others for not giving in to the loneliness of chronic illness. It makes you feel like you don't deserve to be loved and that people aren't going to want to spend time with a sick person. You end up feeling like a burden just for asking for a drink.

For example, people in sepsis have low iron. It is an immune response to starve pathogens that also need iron for their metabolism.

@SouthernMomma98 This occurs because low iron increases the number of platelets, which are blood cells involved in clotting. It also may use up more blood and even further contribute to low iron, in a tiring feedback loop.
