Description

Hemochromatosis is a condition that causes excessive iron absorption in the body through food.

This dysfunction causes high levels of iron in the blood, which the body is unable to eliminate. In the long run, high ferritin causes oxidative stress and damage to vital organs such as the liver, heart, and pancreas.

Fortunately, there are several ways to lower ferritin levels, the most obvious of which is to drastically alter your diet.
