Utilizable Iron, Oxidizing Iron
Iron is one of the most easily oxidizable minerals since iron rusts.
Many people don't tolerate many or any forms of iron supplements for this reason.
Iron also requires cofactors vitamin C and copper, which also has cofactor needs or it will oxidize like iron. These cofactors have their own cofactors. All nutrients are related at least indirectly so it's good to get a fully evaluation of nutritional needs.
"Fortified iron" in food products is often just iron shards from industry that are hard to utilize.
Food sources are safer and may contain the cofactors. I'm not going to give a list of food and try to guess my way around your sensitivities. You can easily look iron values in food.
Consumption of non utilizable iron will not solve your deficiency problem and it can accumulate in the body making you iron toxic at the same time.as the iron is oxidizing. improperly to cause inflammation. Or, feeding candida and other infections, which they use to build biofilm shields against the immune system.
The first cofactor of iron is copper. Copper controls iron utilization. Copper, in turn, may not be utilized properly and lead to toxic accumulations just like iron. Why is not copper being utilized? Lack of vitamin C, magnesium and vitamin A / retinal from animal sources are the biggest reasons. Mag and A also depend on the balance of sodium and potassium, which is achieved in different ways on an individual basis, not shot-gunned by taking a bunch of things. Other nutrients are involved, too.
Where does some of the iron go? Iron can bind where magnesium should be.
Deficiencies lead to iron deficiency in the red blood cells--anemia--and excess all over the rest of the body as cofactor deficient iron is deposited. This is iron dysregulation, explains Morely Robbins, although I don't think he has the full picture. This is no doubt the basis of bloodletting as a health cure, which was not mere superstition we now understand, but the result of observing what works even if they did not have a complete science as we understand it. Now some people donate blood. I would not do it if you are also deficient at the same time.
Iron deficiency can be measured through ferritin and indirectly through hemoglobin levels.
But labs can't prescribe.
You should get tested energetically for whether you are compatible with any particular source of iron.
