It was absolutely terrifying. My body shut down processes one by one… my brain, vision, digestive tract, amongst about 20 symptoms. Long story short 9 doctors and 3 ER’a missed it. I figured it out on my own because it felt like a deficiency the entire time. Once I started treating every day some functioning came back.

I wish I had read this blog prior to all of that happening to me. Since then I’ve become an expert in iron (since no doctor I saw was). I had to educate myself to save myself. Everything you wrote is spot on. I was also a vegetarian for 8+ years and I also take blood builder amongst other iron but now that my ferritin is high enough I’m going to only be using blood builder as my maintenance supplement. Highly recommend it also.

It took going to an integrative medical professional to realize my ferritin levels were extremely low. I turned 50 and was having thyroid numbers that were reading on the hyper end (more women my age are hypo). Hair loss was horrible. I had tons of energy and was donating blood every 8 weeks (my hemoglobin numbers were reading just fine) so iron deficiency was not on my radar. Once the ferritin level tested low I started taking 2 blood builders/day. A month later I feel balanced energetically and my hair is growing back. These vitamins are THE BEST!!!!

A year ago I ended up in the ER receiving a blood transfusion and iron iv !!! It was horrible I was close to my organs shutting down, I was dying from lack of absorption. With very little stomach bile and missing the first 7 inches of intestine, my supplements didn’t stand a chance. I really need a blood builder, with this COVID thing happening I lost my job, I was working at the school district. I’m sharing all this because I’m so very grateful I found this article. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I see hope on my horizon!
