Inflammation might be the hidden reason your iron stays low… even when you’re supplementing..
When the body is in a state of chronic inflammation, it produces a hormone called hepcidin. This hormone acts like a “gatekeeper” — it blocks iron absorption in the gut and traps iron in storage, making it unavailable for your cells.
So even if your iron levels look “okay” on paper, your body may not be able to use it properly.
✨ What this can lead to:
• Fatigue & low energy
• Brain fog
• Hair thinning
• Poor recovery
✨ Common inflammation triggers:
• Chronic stress
• Gut dysfunction
• Poor diet
• Infections
• Hormonal imbalances
✨ The key isn’t just adding iron…
It’s reducing inflammation so your body can actually absorb and utilise it.
At SK Wellness, we help you treat the root cause — supporting the gut, lowering inflammation, and restoring balance from within 🤍
