Who Should Take Iron Supplements?

Iron is a nutrient that plays many important roles in your body, including keeping you healthy and full of energy.

Low iron levels are common, and they can cause unpleasant symptoms like tiredness, poor concentration, and frequent bouts of illness. However, iron deficiency is not always easy to spot, especially in its early stages.

Iron supplements are a great way to reverse a deficiency, especially if diet changes alone are unsuccessful.

Symptoms of low iron levels:

Low iron levels are common, especially in certain subsets of the population. If left untreated, they may develop into a more serious condition known as iron deficiency anemia (IDA) IDA is a condition in which your blood doesn’t contain enough healthy, oxygen-carrying red blood cells. As a result, you may experience the following symptoms :

• Tiredness
  Lack of energy
• Shortness of breath
  Difficulty concentrating
  More frequent bouts of illness
  Difficulty regulating your body temperature or often feeling cold
  Pale skin
  Heart palpitations
• Headaches
  Hearing ringing, hissing, or buzzing noises inside your head
• Itchiness
• Sore tongue or difficulty swallowing
• Changes in the way food tastes
• Hair loss
• Cravings for non-food items, such as ice or dirt – also known as pica
• Painful open sores in the corners of the mouth
• Spoon-shaped nalls
• An uncontrollable urge to move your legs – also known as restless leg syndrome.
• If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, consider discussing diagnostic testing options with your healthcare provider to identify or rule out low iron levels or IDA.

Keep in mind that these symptoms are typically most noticeable when low iron levels progress to IDA. Thus, you may have low iron levels without experiencing any of these signs, especially in the early stages of iron depletion.

Getting your iron levels tested regularly can be a great way to identify and treat low iron levels before they potentially develop into IDA. IDA = Iron deficiency anemia.
