Anaemia & Low Iron

Iron carries oxygen around the body. Run low and everything feels harder — stairs, concentration, getting through the afternoon. It is common in women who menstruate, in pregnancy, and in anyone whose diet is low in red meat.

What actually helps
  • A blood test before a supplement. Iron is not something to take on a hunch, and too much causes harm.
  • Taking iron with vitamin C, and away from tea, coffee and calcium, which block it.
  • Sticking with it for three months. Blood levels lift long before stores refill.
  • A gentler form, or every second day, if it upsets your stomach — that works as well as daily.
