Iron Injections

Injections and infusions bypass the digestive system, allowing for immediate absorption of iron into the body. This is especially beneficial for those with absorption issues (perhaps due to gut health concerns or inflammatory bowel disease) or increased iron needs due to chronic conditions or menstruation.

The Evidence

Anaemia Treatment

Studies show that intravenous iron therapy can rapidly increase haemoglobin levels in patients with iron deficiency anaemia, often more effectively than oral supplements.

‍Chronic Fatigue

Research indicates that iron therapy can significantly improve fatigue symptoms in iron-deficient individuals, even without anaemia.

‍Inflammatory Bowel Disease

A systematic review found that intravenous iron was more effective and better tolerated than oral iron in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

The Effects

• Increased energy and reduced fatigue
• Improved cognitive function and mood
• Enhanced oxygen transport in the body
• Strengthened immune system
• Better exercise tolerance and physical performance

When Chronic Conditions Deplete Your Iron

Chronic illnesses, particularly those involving inflammation or blood loss, often lead to iron deficiency. This can result in persistent fatigue, cognitive difficulties, and reduced quality of life. These symptoms can be exacerbated by the body's inability to absorb iron effectively through oral supplements.

Iron injections and infusions offer a direct way to address this deficiency. By replenishing iron levels, these treatments may help alleviate fatigue, improve cognitive function, and enhance overall well-being, potentially easing the burden of chronic illness.
