Most of you worry about iron deficiency, but did you know your body can store too much iron? It’s called Hemochromatosis, and it can damage your liver, heart, joints, and pancreas over time. When you feel tired or weak, many of you reach for iron tablets, assuming it’s anemia. But here’s something few people talk about: iron overload is real, and harmful too. Hemochromatosis is a condition where excess iron builds up in the body, leading to: * Chronic fatigue * Joint pain * Liver damage * Diabetes or heart problems It’s often misdiagnosed or missed entirely, especially in India, where iron deficiency is more common. Don’t self-prescribe iron. Get your iron levels tested first, because too much of a good thing can be dangerous, too.
