hey guys in this video I’m gonna talk

about iron and why you should not be

taking iron if you get sick okay well

first of all iron is needed in the body

for many different reasons one reason

would be to feed good and bad bacteria

pathogens need iron to thrive and grow

so they can’t exist without iron there

are exceptions some microbes can consume

a manganese instead of iron like the

microbe in lime but most microbes need

the iron what happens when your body

starts getting sick and your

inflammation goes up is that your body

starts storing iron in ferritin which is

a protein bound iron resource so it

basically hides the iron from the

pathogens the bad bacteria and bad

microbes so they can’t get it and that’s

one defense mechanism that our our

bodies have the host to protect against

pathogens so you will find that your

plasma or your blood iron will drop some

people might even become anemic because

of this reason but the point is that you

don’t want to take extra iron when

you’re feeling rundown or sick okay just

for this reason so there’s certain

supplements that you want to avoid read

the label don’t take a supplement that

has iron and then for example the

fortification of certain foods with iron

which you’re probably not consuming I’m

talking about the grains enriched flour

products okay you’re probably not doing

that if you’re watching my videos but if

you are realize that that could be

making things worse so I just wanted to

give you this interesting link between

the pathogen inflammation and iron
