@powervedicnaturals: Replying to @Melbourne_girl WHY IS YOUR IRON STILL LOW, EVEN IF YOU EAT IRON-RICH FOODS OR TAKE SUPPLEMENTS? Because eating iron and actually absorbing and using it are two different things! Your body follows a fascinating process: STOMACH ACID (HCl): Helps release iron from food and keeps it soluble. PEPSIN: Breaks dietary proteins into smaller peptides, helping release iron associated with food proteins. DUODENUM: The primary site where dietary iron is absorbed. VITAMIN C: Helps your body absorb non-heme iron from plant foods. COPPER: Supports iron mobilisation and transport into circulation. TRANSFERRIN: Transports iron through your bloodstream. FERRITIN: Stores iron for future use. PROTEIN + IRON: Amino acids build globin, while iron forms heme. Together, they make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen throughout your body. VITAMIN B12 + FOLATE: Support DNA synthesis and healthy red blood cell production. 💡 THE BIGGER PICTURE: Iron metabolism isn’t just about consuming more iron. Your body needs a coordinated system involving digestion, absorption, transport, storage and utilisation. Before spending money on more supplements, understand what your body is actually missing. Get the appropriate blood tests, identify the underlying cause and make informed nutritional decisions. STOP GUESSING. START UNDERSTANDING YOUR BODY. #irondeficiency #anemic #b12 #powervedicnaturals #punjabi
