Great article! I have had bouts of iron-deficiency anaemia since my teens (I am now in my late 40s) and also hypothyroid for the last 4 years. Am constantly on iron supplements, and due another blood test to check my iron levels. Am about to start T3 supplementation as the T4 and Nutri supplements I am taking not quite doing the job. Its a constant uphill struggle. The article mentions low stomach acid may be a factor. Any advice on how to address it, so that I can better absorb iron?

Auria, taking a teaspoon or two of raw apple cider vinegar in fruit juice or honey-sweetened water before meals will raise stomach acid. Betaine Pepsin before meals will do the same.
