Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional shortfall in the world, and it's easy to miss until the tank runs dry.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size:14px; font-weight:400; color:#5B6B66; line-height:1.7; margin:0 0 28px 0;\"\u003e\n    This guide explains what iron does, why people run low, how it's properly measured (ferritin and the rest, in plain English), and the ordinary routes people use to rebuild it — including the absorption tips most people never hear. It gives no doses: iron should follow a confirmed deficiency and a look at the cause, because too much iron is harmful — so the amount is a decision for your doctor, not the supplement shelf.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"background:#E4EEF2;
