Iron and Fatigue

Iron stores are often implicated in fatigue in the general population, although there is very little data to back this up.
In the endurance athlete, even very small reductions in iron storage can lead to performance deficits.
These reductions are often considered by the testing laboratories to be within the normal range for the general population and therefore may go untreated.

Athletic fatigue, though is often multifactorial and all these factors need to be teased out in order to achieve maximal improvements.
