If you’re exhausted and the only answer you keep getting is “take iron” - pause.

Low iron can cause fatigue. So can depleted/imbalanced electrolytes, bio-unavailable copper, slow thyroid, and iron that’s sitting in tissue storage but not moving.

5️⃣ iron mistakes I see all the time:

1. Assuming fatigue = low iron
2. Checking ferritin and stopping there
3. Reading blood but never looking at tissue minerals
4. Jumping straight to isolated iron
5. Doubling the dose (or going to an infusion) when the first energy bump fades

Ferritin is one small part of the iron recycling system. It’s not even close to the whole story. A useful panel includes hemoglobin, serum iron, TIBC, transferrin, ceruloplasmin, copper, zinc, retinol, RBC magnesium and more.

Isolated iron cannot do its job without the minerals that recycle it, especially copper and real retinol. That first lift after a high dose is often just more red blood cells being made. If it doesn’t last, more iron is usually not the missing piece.

Blood is a snapshot. Hair shows the longer mineral pattern. They belong together.

Iron “issues” look different.

↘️ Some run low: pale, dark under eye circles, wiped out, low markers, “anemic” on paper

↖️ Some run high: high markers, inflamed, irritable, told to avoid or even bind-up iron

Some sit in the middle - but conventional labs don’t match how they feel.

✨What almost no one tells you - you barely need new exogenous iron each day.✨

♻️ Your body recycles most of what it uses. Cleanup cells (macrophages) in the spleen and liver - the reticuloendothelial system - take up old red blood cells and send that iron back out for new blood, enzymes, and oxygen. That’s about 20–25 mg a day moving inside you!

What you absorb from meals is tiny: roughly 1–2 mg a day. 1 milligram-ish of outside iron. The rest is an INSIDE job. 💪

So “take more iron” or “chelate / avoid iron” misses the real issue: traffic 🛣️

Iron recycling REQUIRES co-factors: magnesium, copper in the right place, retinol, cells that know whether to hold iron in ferritin or release it. When that loop is off, you can look deficient or overloaded - same mineral, different bottleneck.

💎 Cell salts are the 12 mineral salts your cells use, prepared in tiny homeopathic dilutions so they nudge function and utilization, not like a megadose pill.

Ferrum phos is the iron-phosphate salt. In the 1800’s Dr Schuessler didn’t use it as an iron supplement. He used 12X potency specifically (the finest dilution) to support how iron is used - oxygen handling, early inflammation, the “what do we do with this iron?” signal instead of dumping a synthetic metal into the blood, just to end up sequestered into the tissues, unusable. 🩸

At 12X potency there is essentially no meaningful iron load. You’re not stacking iron on high markers, and 12X doesn’t replace food if stores are truly empty.

Food, cofactors, and the biological “why” of iron movement still matter and 12X Ferrum phos is icing on the cake.

That’s why I often recommend it in a daily 12-in-1 cell salt to my clients with iron concerns (guided by HTMA and full iron blood panel)

Midlife gets blamed on hormones first. Fair. What’s often missed: the mineral terrain those hormones run on.

👉 Hormonal acne is often an acid / clearing picture (Nat Phos, Calc Sulph) - not only androgens.

👉 Hormonal migraines often track fluid + iron (Nat Mur, Ferrum Phos).

👉 Melasma and that dull yellow cast is a Kali Sulph skin-oxygen picture.

👉 Puffiness that gets blamed on estrogen is often a call for the clearing salt, Nat Sulph.

Have you experimented with homeopathic cell (aka tissue) salts yet?

Your pediatrician never told you👇

💎 Cell salts have been around since the late 1800’s and are homeopathic micro-doses of naturally occurring mineral compounds. They are a lovely gentle option for kids for mineral support and comforting a wide range of symptoms.
