Appearances
In athletes.
Especially those engaged in endurance sports.
The prevalence is even higher.
Several factors contribute to iron deficiency in athletes.
An increased iron demand
Due to higher blood volume and muscle adaptation.
Iron losses through sweat, gastrointestinal bleeding.
And red blood cell breakdown.
Hepcidin acts as a key regulator of iron metabolism.
By controlling intestinal absorption.
and release from body stores.
Elevated levels reduce iron availability.
Increasing the risk of deficiency.
If untreated
Iron deficiency can lead to iron deficiency anemia, resulting in a reduced endurance performance, increased fatigue, impaired recovery, and weakened immune function.
Female endurance athletes are particularly at risk due to higher physiological demands, like losing blood through menstruation and in some cases dietary patterns.
While deficiency is common
Excessive iron intake can also be harmful.
Acute high intake may cause gastrointestinal symptoms, while chronic overload can damage organs such as the liver, heart, and brain.
Excess iron promotes oxidative stress and tissue damage.
