Iron Bisglycinate
Iron helps red blood cells carry oxygen
Perimenopause symptoms
What might it help with?
Low Energy
Low iron can reduce oxygen delivery and feel like heavy, persistent low energy. The key word is low: testing should establish the shortfall first.
Fatigue
Iron deficiency is one possible cause of fatigue, especially with heavy bleeding. Fatigue has many other causes, so a blood test matters.
Thinning Hair
Iron deficiency can overlap with hair shedding, but hair changes have many causes and iron should not be added without checking status.
Brain Fog
Low iron can travel with fatigue and concentration difficulty, but brain fog alone does not identify iron deficiency.
Plain English
Think of it like this
Picture red blood cells as delivery vans and iron as part of the equipment that holds oxygen. Too little iron means less efficient oxygen delivery; extra iron does not make a well-stocked fleet work better.
