Are you living with subpar iron levels?

About the author

I’m Dr. Matt Angove, in my 10 years as a Naturopathic Doctor, I’ve seen thousands of patients, but the one complaint that most of my patients have in common is a lack of energy. Many of my patients who lack energy also have anemia. However, trying to increase my patients’ ferritin levels proved to be a challenge. Even among other health professionals, it seemed that there was either a vain attempt made to increase ferritin levels through various supplements or it was overlooked altogether.

For example, I saw practitioners dismissing patients based on a normal CBC while iron deficiency symptoms were readily present. This was before they understood the importance of optimal ferritin levels.

I also saw midwives giving their pregnant patients massive doses of B vitamins and protein but missing the fact that their ferritin, which is needed to facilitate optimal energy transfer, was not in range.

I could go on, but I have seen this lack of clarity over and over, because, in full transparency, that was my story too. In fact, on multiple occasions using Iron bisglycinate I saw ferritin levels go from the 20’s to less than 10. This actually happened to my wife! 

Not only that but the same patients who I told “this will be a simple fix and within a month you should be feeling like your old energized self”, were now complaining of heartburn, bloating, nausea, and constipation from the very products that were supposed to be helping them.

I started resorting to intravenous iron and intramuscular injections of iron. However, this is costly, time-consuming, and carries a much higher risk for me and my patients, overall, making this route of blood building very challenging with compliance.

I was desperate for a formula that worked because the run-of-the-mill iron formulas on the market weren’t cutting it. This is why I developed Blood Vitality.
