What Health Issues Can Prevent The Body From Absorbing Iron.
what health issues can prevent the body from absorbing iron. I have been anaemic since last September with haemoglobin down to 7 in December, rising to 13 in January but at March down to 7. I am taking a supplement: Metagenics with 20mgs elemental iron from 100mg of iron amino acid chelate, one per day. Is this a good type of iron for the body to absorb? Do I need to increase my daily dosage?
