anecdotally - my iron levels used to always sit at the lower end of the healthy levels and would absolutely tank whenever I was pregnant. Supplements barely helped even with a focus on iron rich food.
With my last pregnancy I said "fuck the doctors, they're help isn't doing shit" its probably some trace element I'm missing out on.
I started taking 2 tablespoons of Black Strap Molassess everyday. a few days in I felt so much better. I dropped it down to 1 or 2 teaspoons a day after about a month and have been taking that ever since. guess I wasn't far off.
Beef or Moose liver is way superior due to Cu and Fe content being in the most bioavailable form (compared to plant based molasses that has poor bioavailability).
Moose isn't an option where I am. And beef isn't a regular option unless I want to buy it from the shops (no thanks). Not much cattle farming where I am so can't really buy fresh from the farmer like we do with sheep
He says that the only reason for fatigue is lack of or unbalance of minerals in the body. I tried doing some of the things he recommends and it's legit. Mineral drops, cream of tartar and sea salt in filtered water or organic orange juice for starts. As well as beef fed liver can be pill form and cod liver oil. If you find some of his other talks he will go into how they put iron shavings in tons of food and in reality most people have too much iron and not enough magnesium and copper to get it into the blood stream and since they only test blood when looking for iron many people get misdiagnosed. If you are looking for more energy I'd check his work out.
Yeah there's more things he recommends like what you mentioned such as whole vitamin c supplements not synthetic vitamin c as ascorbic acid which he says is bad. He has a whole protocol those are just the starter things I mentioned. But yeah def made a difference adding in copper and magnesium and vitamin a and b. Beef liver apparently has a lot of vitamin b and a as well.

Glad you found a solution with molasses though .

Morley is right , but it is copper , magnesium , C-vitamin , B-vitamin and vitamin A that are together required for iron recycling within the body.
Yes, most are deficient in Cu and Mg.
Ferritin alone is a useless measure of iron status .
