Iron Supplementation (if deficient)
for Fatigue
Iron deficiency — even without anaemia — is a common and reversible cause of fatigue, particularly in women of reproductive age. Testing before supplementing is essential.
How it works
Iron is essential for haemoglobin oxygen transport and mitochondrial electron transport chain function. Even subclinical deficiency (low ferritin with normal haemoglobin) can impair energy metabolism.
What to watch for
Test ferritin levels before supplementing — excess iron is harmful. Ferritin below 50 μg/L often correlates with fatigue even without anaemia. Take with vitamin C; avoid with tea/coffee.
