      <description><![CDATA[Hello Kaveh, 
It's important to have iron levels checked before and during taking iron supplements as those who have healthy iron levels shouldn't be taking iron supplements because this can cause a host of health issues and negative side effects. Thank you for sharing how you take your iron supplement.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Iron Bisglycinate is the type of iron supplement I take. It is bound to an amino acid called glycine. Iron bisglycinate is soft on the stomach and easy to handle. I like its bioavailability. It enhances the absorption of Iron to take it with Vitamin C, so I do that at night between meals. I make sure never to take calcium, magnesium or zinc as that might create a side effect, which is what I want to avoid. I avoid food with iron supplements. I am happy with my iron levels after doing another blood test.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello Rachel, 
Indeed, iron supplements should only be taken when needed and after getting your iron levels checked as this mineral can build up in your body. You can check out our article on anemia to learn more about the symptoms to watch and discuss with your health care practitioner, <a href="https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/health-concerns/anemia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ugc">https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/health-concerns/anemia/</a>

Have a healthy day]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Key phrase: GET YOUR LEVELS CHECKED FIRST.
As the old saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
Having studied the effects of iron and copper chelators in the context of a rat dementia model, I am well aware that excess iron can have adverse effects on the brain. As you outline, iron can also inhibit the absorbtion of other key nutrients such as magnesium an is thus not something that one wants to consume too much of. I appreciate you handling this topic with appropriate precautions. Looking forward to reading more articles and thank you!!]]></description>
