Are iron infusions useful?

It depends on the situation - but I take a fundamentally critical view of them. An infusion leaves the body no choice: it cannot regulate, cannot dose, cannot decide whether and how much it wants to absorb. The iron is simply introduced - whether the body and psyche are ready or not. If the psychological

What does copper have to do with my iron levels?

Copper plays a key role in converting iron into its active form, mobilizing it from the stores and incorporating it into the red blood cells.

Iron shows how much active iron is currently available in the blood. Ferritin shows how well the iron stores are filled - i.e. whether reserves are still available.

Why is it not enough to simply take iron supplements when iron levels are low?

By |2026-03-11T20:07:34+01:00March 11th, 2026|, , , |

Because a low iron level is rarely an isolated problem. It is often caused by blood loss, inflammation, intestinal absorption problems or a lack of important cofactors such as vitamin C or copper. Anyone who simply supplements iron without knowing the actual cause is treating a symptom - not the cause. And in my experience,
