I take dessicated liver powder for the heme iron.
It doesn't build up in the system the way other
iron types do. Used to be once upon a time, that
doctors recommended live three times a week for
anemic patients but it's been a very long time
since I've heard that. It's also a great source of
B vits, and vit A. I get mine from a source that
manufactures it from Argentine grass fed cattle.
One strange note. I hated liver when I was a kid,
but a few years ago someone convinced me to try it
pan fried with onions and garlic, without any
added oil. I really liked it. I still don't care
for chicken or pork liver though. The flavor is
just not right or something.

Yes, iron overload is very scary, and since it is so rarely even looked
for, I believe it is way underdiagnosed, and since the "normal lab
range" for ferritin is averaged from people who were apparently not
screened for iron overload, the upper limit of the range is way too high.
I do not believe I have genetic hemochromatosis, but there are other
reasons for people to load too much iron. I was only mid-range when I
started de-ironing. But I didn't want to wait until I had organ damage,
diabetes, or cancer. My family health history on both sides is heavy in
the diseases most often associated with iron overload, colon cancer,
diabetes, thyroid problems, heart disease.
My latest doctor took a look at my very low ferritin (I had donated
blood too often) and freaked. I fired her last week for ordering an
"anemia" panel instead of a single ferritin test. I am sure if I was
subject to being intimidated by doctors she would have me on high dose
iron supplements or even iron IVs. I complained to the practice manager
and requested to be not charge or re-imbursed for the extra lab tests
that I did not authorize nor request. I am feeling really uneasy about
doing that, because there are only 3 doctors in this town, all employed
by the single clinic, but I am sick and tired of "paying and shutting
up" (I am paying out of pocket for these tests".
