If only we knew how biology worked a little better. Example: blaming menstruation for low iron.
You do not lose all your jron the week you bleed. Your body is recruiting blood weeks BEFORE that, a little each minute of each day over multiple week time span. Then it chills for a bit waiting for potential implantation, THEN if you don’t conceive, it sheds. You don’t lose iron during your period. It’s not an open wound just pouring out blood.
