Hai. Is taking too much of iron harmful to the body?. Please answer.
Hai george.
There is an abundance of risk of taking so much iron. But first, make sure you take it with food, and it might be easier to take it on an empty stomach (for digestion purposes). If you are taking more than the usual dose it can be very small for certain people. As it may trigger very poor positioning for younger adults and kids.
Iron toxicity can cause many things to fail in the body, as it can impair the ability of our bodies to use iron and can result in excess oxidative stress. Since iron fortifies processed foods many have rates that are too high.Iron functions as a part of a variety of proteins including enzymes and hemoglobin, most notably for the metabolic conveyance of oxygen to tissues through the body.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level for adults is around
45 mg/day of iron if I recall right. Since the iron balance is maintained by controlling absorption in the the small intestine, if you take more it can have adverse effects.Excess iron is stored in your organs, especially your heart, liver, and pancreas.
Too much iron can lead to life-threatening conditions
such as liver disease, diabetes, and heart attacks.Early-acute symptoms of iron toxicity include vomiting and diarrhea. If excess iron continues to be consumed, it can require 5 additional organs: cardiovascular, central nervous system, kidney, liver, and hematologic.
This may also induce constipation and diarrhea.When you think you are experiencing iron toxicity then immediately talk to your doctor.
