High Iron Levels in Blood
Iron is a critical nutrient for the proper functioning of our bodies, less or high amounts of iron can cause harm to the body. We're all aware of iron deficiency anemia, however, most of us are unaware of a condition called iron toxicity or iron overload.

In normal situations, our body actually absorbs 10% iron from the iron rich foods consumed such as meat, seafood, green leafy vegetables, grains, etc. and allows the excess to be excretedout of the body passively. However, in some people, the body ends up absorbing about 5-20 times excess iron than required by the body, thereby leading to high iron levels in blood. This excess iron, once absorbed cannot be discarded naturally and is stored in the body tissueof liver, pancreas and heart.
