I'm not sure what you mean by "high tech iron", but I'm assuming it wasn't from a natural, plant-based source...hence likely not bio-available for your body to utilize as 'healthy iron' and causing a build-up that created symptoms.

1 Tablespoon of our Cayenne powder (a blend of 75% organic African Bird Pepper and 25% organic Habanero...which works out to around 150-200,000 HU) is approximately 6 grams. So if you took 3 full teaspoons daily that'd be just a wee-bit over 5% of the RDA.

Of course, the RDA is basically BS.

Also, if you're high in toxic bio-unavailable iron your body still NEEDS bio-available iron it can utilize daily.

With a SF (serum ferritin) level of 220, you fell into the normal range (which is 12-300 ng/mL for males), yet you were advised to have over a pint of blood removed...for being in the NORMAL range? wow. I'd have to know a LOT more about your symptoms and situation before offering any type of advice. But I can say I believe trying to get your levels to 50 (which would be on the low end) using chelation therapy might be more negative than positive in the long run.

I wouldn't worry a bit about taking 3 teaspoons of Cayenne daily if it were me.

Blessings,
Uny
