Health(iron defiiency)?

Question

I am anemic and i was wondering what is the fastest way to increase my iron and how?

Answer 1

The fastest way is to get whole blood pumped in, but this technique is used to treat severe cases and the ones who are bleeding heavily or have lost a great deal of blood. There are certain other instances where whole blood is invariably pumped in to spruce up the iron levels and thus the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. Next in the line is a calculated Iron-Dextran infusion, which can be dangerous.

In your case the iron stores would be necessitating replenishment by diet alone or combined with some iron supplements. Red meat supplies good amounts of iron and if you are vegge, then green leafy vegetables will help, which can be taken as soup, salad or as a cooked vegetable meal. Heme containing syrups are available in the market, which work faster than the normal syrups, capsules and tablets of iron. If you decide to take iron capsules, then they are to be taken regularly 2 to 3 times a day after meals (never on a empty stomach) and continued for at least 2 to 3 months after the haemoglobin content of your blood returns to normal. This extra duration is essential to replace the normal iron stores of your body as the stores would have also gone down requiring replacement.

Answer 2

For fastest results I suggest all natural Iron Plus C Complex. A young friend of mine during the latter part of her pregnancy had very low iron. She ordered the Iron Plus C Complex and she started to see the difference right away in the form of more energy. At her next drs. appointment her iron was just fine and she continues to use the product since she tends to have a problem in general with her iron level. C is added for better iron absorption. Also, the iron used in this product is from plants and does not cause constipation.

Hope this is useful and feel free to contact me with questions or if you would like to know the brand I'm referring to.

U can go to a drug store and pick up a bottle of iron supplements. Supposedly iron tabs are best taken with vitamin c (vit c activates iron to work) so if u find a tab with both that would be better. If u cant just drink a glass of orange juice with the iron tablet.

Be careful what iron supplement that you choose because some of them cause constipation. There is one called slow fe that doesn't. Eat food that are rich in iron like nuts, leafy green vegetables, liver,beans,whole wheat bread, cream of wheat,blackstrap molasses,grapes and raisins are a few iron rich foods. Drinking orange juice will help the body absorb your iron supplement.

you can always take a supplement but the best way to increase your iron is by changing your diet... eat alot of fruits and veggies (the darker in color, the better). Red meat also has alot of iron... especially liver. Bon Appetit :)
