7 reasons why your iron levels aren’t improving


Listen Later

If you are someone who is taking an iron supplement, but finding after months of diligently taking it, your ferritin has barely increased - this is the episode for you.


There is almost always an answer as to why you ferritin isn't increasing, and you just need to figure out which one it is (or we can for you within an appointment). 

Mentioned:

  • Forms of iron; poorly absorbed vs highly absorbed
  • Products that hinder iron absorption
  • Hepcidin and how to maximise iron absorption by alternate day dosing
  • Gut absorption issues, gut inflammation
  • Under-active thyroid
  • How copper and vitamin A play a role in absorption and transport of iron
  • Check out IronBiotic here; it contains iron bisglycinate, activated B's, a probiotic strain, copper and beta-carotene. We know, it's amazing.
