“Feeling tired? You might have anaemia! Try our iron supplements to make you feel better.” Says an ad campaign.
Well, too much iron can be detrimental too! The Common Rounds presents Hemochromatosis — that disease when you have too much iron deposited.
So think twice if you are going to overload yourself with iron tablets, you could give yourself secondary hemochromatosis. (That being said, it’ll take you quite a few decades for the side effects to show…)
Join the Common Rounds as they talk through the normal physiology of iron absorption, pathology of Primary Hemochromatosis and many more!
