What Causes Iron Deficiency & How to Improve your Iron Levels

Iron deficiency occurs when your body doesn’t have enough iron to produce haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. As a result, you may experience symptoms like fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and pale skin.

What Causes Iron Deficiency?

Inadequate Iron Intake

• Poor Diet – Not consuming enough iron-rich foods (e.g., red meat, leafy greens, lentils).
• Vegetarian/Vegan Diets – Plant-based diets may lack sufficient iron unless properly managed.

Increased Iron Loss

• Heavy Menstrual Bleeding – Excessive blood loss during periods can lead to deficiency.
• Frequent Blood Donation – Regular donations can lower iron levels over time.
• Internal Bleeding – Conditions like ulcers, gastritis, or gastrointestinal bleeding can cause iron loss.

Poor Iron Absorption

• Digestive Disorders – Conditions like celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, or IBS can reduce iron absorption.
• Excess Calcium Intake – Consuming too much dairy can interfere with iron absorption.
• Certain Medications – Antacids and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can reduce stomach acid needed for iron absorption.

Increased Iron Demand

• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding – Higher iron needs for fetal development and milk production.
• Growth Spurts in Children & Teens – Rapid growth increases iron requirements.
• Athletes & High-Intensity Training – Increased red blood cell production requires more iron.

How to Improve Iron Levels Naturally

Eat Iron-Rich Foods

• Haem Iron (Best Absorbed): Red meat, poultry, liver, and seafood.
• Non-Haem Iron (Plant-Based): Lentils, spinach, quinoa, tofu, chickpeas, and fortified cereals.

Pair Iron with Vitamin C

• Helps improve absorption. Eat iron-rich foods with citrus fruits, bell peppers, or tomatoes.

Limit Foods That Block Iron Absorption

• Avoid tea, coffee, and high-calcium foods (dairy) with iron-rich meals.

Consider Iron Supplements (If Needed)

• Consult a doctor before taking iron tablets, as excessive iron can be harmful.

Improve Gut Health

• A healthy gut aids better iron absorption. Include probiotics like yogurt, kimchi, or kefir.

Regular Testing & Monitoring

• Use an Iron Deficiency Ferritin Levels Self-Testing Kit to check your iron levels at home.
