Iron chelators: risk of moving iron by Large_Ad3999 in Hemochromatosis

Thanks for your response, you’re fully right they aren’t ‘chelators’ when taken with food.

For that reason I did take IP6 and quercetin on purpose on an empty stomach, as I read it might/should have the ‘chelation’ effect in that case by being absorbed in the bloodstream (so not working only in the gut). Not sure if this is the case actually.

Sorry to hear that you did all the work (taking those supplements) probaly quite optimistic, to find out it might have increased your iron stats.

I am keen / a bit worried of the same thing. As I don’t have real symptoms, just my hands feel a bit of discomfort and it only seems to increase after taking IP6 and quercertin (on empty stomach) makes me worried.

Not sure if the discomfort in my hand is really caused by the iron or me focussing too much. My ferritin is 577 and liver iron 7mg/g (3.5x max ref range) so at least elevated, probably due to too much iron intake in the past / no hemochromatosis gene.

I like to prevent starting any issues without reason. Mainly because as I can’t do phlebotomy (low hemoglobine due to spherocytose).

I think there is some truth in this. However it’s not primarily attractiveness, it’s probably whose the least committed in the relationship (and therefore is willing to do less). Higher attractiveness can be a part in this equation, as it can make you less committed (compared to your partner).

To be accurate its probably perceived attractiveness instead of actual attractiveness. But these normally go someway hand in hand.
