How it works

Iron is required for mitochondrial electron transport, haemoglobin oxygen carrying, and myoglobin oxygen storage in muscle. Suboptimal stores impair all three.

Get ferritin and full blood count tested before supplementing. Target ferritin above 50 Β΅g/L for fatigue management. Iron can cause constipation β€” try ferrous bisglycinate form and take with vitamin C.

Why moderate evidence

A Swiss RCT found significant fatigue improvement with iron supplementation in women with low ferritin but no anaemia. Effect size was clinically meaningful.

β€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
