If you feel alright, like you’re shining and have a lot of energy then one factor that’s supposed to generate this feeling of wellness is your body’s iron that is found in an optimum level. Blood cells are made mostly by bone marrow, bone marrow which also stores the most iron in our organism. If we have a hard time with our iron levels, then we will start using the iron that exists in the bone marrow reserves. But if we did store only a small quantity of iron then our red blood cells will not be created properly, their dimension will be significant less than the one of usual ones and also their number is little. An immediate result for this thing is that less hemoglobin is transporting oxygen in body.

As a conclusion to the low iron symptoms is that when our body doesn’t contain a proper level of iron then our body has a bad flow of oxygen, so our organs starve for oxygen.

How do we bring iron in organism?

Iron can be found under two types heme and nonheme. Easiest form to absorb is the heme type that can be found in meat mostly, the other nonheme form is present in vegetables, grains and takes a little longer for our organism to absorb it. If we desire to increase the rhythm of iron absorption we will supplement our diet with vitamin C.

One common question which we put is to take supplements of iron or not? Generally isn’t considered a good thing to take iron supplements. Overloading with iron is as dangerous as the iron deficiency symptoms. If we are suspecting low iron levels we should first proceed to visit a doctor and after that follow the advice we are given. Stay with us for the next interesting article about symptoms of low iron.

Let’s provide some US statistics regarding those symptoms:
• Known fact is that 12% of women that have ages between 12-49 are known to have problems with iron deficiency.
• Women that are pregnant are more exposed to those symptoms, especially if they have lower incomes.
• Women who passed through menopause have less predisposal to such low iron levels.
• Interesting fact is that only a percent of 3% of men have these symptoms.

So what makes women so much predisposed to iron deficiency?

Studying statistics we can say that because we bleed each month and because we have to carry pregnancy and fully support it we are risking not to have sufficient amount of iron in organisms.
If a woman had several children, depending on her diet and consciousness it still can have a normal level of iron. But if she has a noisy and busy life with some kids, then it is possible to feel many times very tired and possibly lack the will to do things. Most of times we don’t realize that the problem is actually more because our organism doesn’t contain the necessary amount of iron. The mistake that often happens is that we begin to think it is because we did too many things, that we should sleep more and rest.

I’ve got a real story from a good friend. I see her about 2-3 times a week when I go to her house, she lives a kind of hard life for her 29 years old. Having 3 children, working full time she told many times she kind of feels tired most of time. The problem is as you suspect her low iron level of which she found about after a visit to a doctor. Making her mind up and visiting a doctor was a great decision, she was having a big problem with low iron and also anemia, these were explained by bleeding much and low iron levels. Doctor recommended her to have a hysterectomy, she didn’t want and she started researching about other ways in which she can treat. As you can understand the biggest problem was discovering the problem she really had and after that by following a treatment she got a lot better.

The majority of people that suffer of these symptoms do it because the amount of iron consumed is very small and it vanishes because of internal bleeding. Bleeding that is often caused by ulcers or even tumors. Some groups of people face a more dangerous risk of having low iron in blood, these groups are:

• Aged persons who lost many teeth. We seriously advise them to take iron pills that contain among iron in their composition other mineral supplements necessary for their every day diet.
• Not all women menstruate the same! Some women menstruate heavy and for them it is necessary thing to ‘feed’ their organism with some iron that can be assimilated either by taking pills rich in iron and other minerals or by trying to eat many legumes, cereals or breads.
• Women that are pregnant are very exposed to low iron in blood because they constantly need to feed their fetus, and they do it by releasing the iron from their own bodies.

This problem can be often seen at the children, youth people and especially the vegetarian persons posses this symptom.
