Do you have Iron Deficiency?

Improving Health and Quality of Life by Addressing the ID Epidemic

  1. Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common medical problem in humans.

  2. ID is most common in toddlers and women between 15 and 50 years old.

  3. Severe ID is less common in the U.S., but mild or moderate ID is common. This has not improved in decades.

  4. Low hemoglobin is a common test for ID, but low hemoglobin is a late finding of ID, after iron stores are depleted.

  5. ID can reduce energy, exercise capacity, athletic performance, concentration, memory, and learning capacity, thus impacting your life.

  6. Currently, the best test for iron deficiency is getting a ferritin test.

  7. We are working on simpler and easier ways to detect and treat ID to improve the health of people.
