Usually, if it is a vitamin or mineral your body needs, if you consume more than your body needs, it will get rid of the excress that it can not absorbe via urination or bowel movements. Have you ever taken a multi vitamin and you see your urine turn bright yellow, this is the excess vitamins your body is getting rid of. If you take minerals such as Ferrum (Iron) your bowel movements will be darker. That is the excess Iron that your body can not absorb. This would go the same for if you got too much vitamin or mineral via food (which would be pretty hard to do, hence why most people take a multi vitamin) Your body is pretty smart, it will take what it needs and get rid of the rest, just becareful not too take to much too fast, your body may know to get rid of it, but if you take it in ways that doesnt give your body time to get rid of it, you can OD :s
yes, because you need iron in your body but too much is also not good
Hemochromatosis is too much iron in the body. It is also called iron overload.
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. Hence, the body has a "buffer" against iron deficiency (if the blood has too little iron, ferritin can release more) and, to a lesser extent, iron overload (if the blood and tissues of the body have too much iron, ferritin can help to store the excess iron).
What are the Health Risks of Too Much Iron?Your body has a limited capacity to excrete iron, which means it can easily build up in organs like your liver, heart and pancreas. This is dangerous because iron is a potent oxidizer and can damage your body tissues contributing to serious health issues, including:CirrhosisLiver cancerCardiac arrhythmiasDiabetesAlzheimer's diseaseBacterial and viral infections
Iron is not dangerous to our health. Iron is a nice supplement to take in moderation. Too much iron is toxic to the body, just like too much of anything. Most notably, women can tolerate iron intake more than men can, because of their menstrual cycles depleting their iron levels.
Eating too much junk food that does not contain enough iron for the body to function can lead to anemia. Anemia is from a lack of iron in the blood. Iron is needed to produce healthy red blood cells.
no
Having "a lot" could mean one of two things. Too much iron will make you extremely sick, even if you are only slightly above what you need; the signs are fairly obvious. Otherwise, there is a wide range of values that are considered safe or okay for iron in the body, and what is too much for someone else may be the normal for you.
it can but only if you have too much for your body to get rid off ( diabetes and other related conditions )
Can too much iron cause cause low back pain
too much oxygen combines with the raw iron and forms iron oxide or rust. this weakens the iron and thus damages it.
