Are you taking too much?
Story-At-a-Glance
Matt Cook here, and most people think iron is totally safe.
They buy it from the grocery store and supplement with it daily.
And most men are only worried about iron levels being too low…
But this is the real danger: too much iron!
So do me a favor and check this out — this will help you make sure you’re not getting too little or too much iron…

Urgent new warning from scientists about this one common mineral
I don’t know if you noticed, but there is a real hype about low iron on the Internet.
Many forums, blogs, and viral social media posts talk about the dangers of low iron and the importance of taking iron supplements.
It’s an idea that is also supported by many elements of the official medical community.
But some more thoughtful people in the medical community believe that high levels of iron pose a much greater risk for most people — and I agree with them.
One study looked at all causes of mortality — the risk of dying from any cause in a certain period of time…
They found that people with high iron were far more likely to die.
What’s more, none of these people had been diagnosed with hemochromatosis – the most common form of iron poisoning.
Many of these people would have slipped through the cracks — even if they were tested for hemochromatosis.
The research was carried out at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. The paper was published in The Annals of Family Medicine.
Researchers and doctors use a number of different labs to determine iron levels in the blood.
One of the most important iron labs is called transferrin saturation.
Transferrin saturation looks at the amount of iron in the blood and how much of that iron is bound to an iron carrying protein.
Many people regard this as the best test for iron levels.
It’s partly used to diagnose low iron — anemia and high iron — hemochromatosis.
This study looked at the relationship between this important iron marker and the risk of death.
The researchers used data from over 10,000 people between the age of 25 and 75 years old.
The researchers then looked for confounding factors in all of these individuals — other health problems which will influence the risk of death.
The researchers corrected the data for these other factors in order to see the effect of iron on its own.
“A large proportion of US adults have a predisposition for iron overload. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between elevated serum transferrin saturation and mortality.”
The researchers found that those with high levels of iron in the blood were 60% more likely to die from any cause.
High iron was defined as transferrin saturation above 55%.
“All cause mortality is significantly greater for persons with a serum transferrin saturation of more than 55% [hazard ratio 1.60].”
The researchers had access to health records and death certificates of all of the people who took part in the research.
They looked for hemochromatosis as a cause of death in the people who died. This is a well known type of iron overload.
None of the people had hemochromatosis listed as a cause of death.
The significant health risks of iron overload are being overlooked.
“No one who died had hemochromatosis as any of the 20 listed causes of death.”
A number of common diseases are strongly linked to iron overload. These include liver disease like cirrhosis and type II diabetes.
The study showed a clear link between iron related diseases, iron levels and increased risk of death.
“These persons were more likely to have died of liver cirrhosis and diabetes, a finding consistent with iron overload.”
2% of the American population are at very high risk of iron overload because of genetic factors.
A much larger percentage are put at risk by eating high iron diets or taking iron supplements to excess.
“In this nationally representative study, those with elevated serum transferrin saturation were at increased risk for all cause mortality.”
Other common diseases like dementia cancer are also strongly linked to excessive iron levels in the body.
For most of us, we can control our iron levels by making simple changes to our diet and supplementation regimen.

This forgotten hormone is causing 80% of men’s health and sex problems — here’s how to lower it
There is one hormone that’s constantly ignored in the male body — yet it has serious consequences for men’s health and performance as a man.
And it’s not testosterone, it’s not estrogen, and it’s not prolactin…
It’s not thyroid hormone or oxytocin or serotonin…
And it’s not progesterone, or pregnenolone, or any other hormone you’ve heard me talk about before…
This is the one hormone men need to worry about the most… and fast…
Because if you let this hormone get too high, it can cause irreversible damage in the bedroom and beyond…
