Not many people know that iron is the most prevalent nutrient deficiency in the world, with a rate of approximately 10% of the population in developed countries and anywhere from 25 – 50% in developing countries. Wow, those are quite the stats, right? Lets start out explaining this condition by describing some of the facts around anemia. Anemia in general is a reduction in oxygen-transporting capacity of the blood. Red blood cells (RBC’s) are the oxygen-transporters that are made of iron. With iron deficiency, there is an inadequate supply of building blocks to make RBC’s, therefore you are not getting enough oxygen to your entire body.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,647,152So true, but let's not forget about Iron "overload" in people over 50. Iron builds up in alarming levels that feed cancer. Cancer's LOVE iron.
The best way for people to get rid of an overload of cancer is to donate blood every two months....seriously.
Of course that is in developing countries with too much iron in their diet :-)- Re: The Lowdown on Iron in Grass-fed... RyanD

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,647,154I think that's a myth or a half truth . If Iron is supplied through a proper food source it does not create an overload ! Now isolated elements can create an imbalance I would never take an Iron tablet or eat nails.

Juice Fasting Made Easy
Organic 9 day juice fasting kit. Heals the body, removes toxins.
Nope, not a myth at all. They are now discovering that some women collect so much iron after menopause that it creates major health issues.
Oddly a while back I took IP6 after reading about this excessive build up of iron. I thought I was fully in menopause, and after 3 years I got my menses.....scared me!!
Makes you think about the days they were hawking Geritol with extra iron. Little did they know.
Iron is essential is the proper levels. But I did read the absolutely best way to keep it in proper levels is from "bleeding"....and since we've long ago stopped using leaches, I think donating blood is not only a worthy investment, but apparently very good for you.

This is a reply to # 1,647,768An imbalance,, you said it yourself this should never occur with a well "balanced"proper diet, Bleeding,,,, when having to use such extreme measures you know something is out of wack!
But like the article says and I believe the deficiency is epidemic, putting people off from consuming minerals in a balanced food is not the same as warning someone from consuming isolated elements! Blanket statements only hinder good health.- Re: The Lowdown on Iron in Grass-fed... InnerCalm

This is a reply to # 1,647,804Yup. It's all about natural balance. When we look to supplements we are already barking up the wrong road. It is a clear sing that our nutritional paradigm is way off the mark.

That's a funny typo, Molly. I know you meant overload of iron but I don't think the blood banks would welcome an overload of cancer!- Re: The Lowdown on Iron in Grass-fed... hanna

This is a reply to # 1,647,795I have to look in IP6 again too, when I originally took it and read about it, I vaguely remember they said you should do it once a year and for me it is longer ago.
