The cause of low iron levels?

Question

Can someone please tell me this? I am exhausted right now, I'm only 20 & just finished summer school? My mother & grandmother have low iron levels & I was tested for anemia once...Do I have low iron blood counts because I also tried to give blood several times & they said I couldn't do it? Why do I have low iron? Is it genetic? I'm taking Slow FE iron supplements but I'm still exhausted? I think I also may be PMSing so that may be a contributed factor? Thanks so much for your help.

have saladsand milk regularly everyday, green veggies and meat once in a week atleast in ur diet!

and let ur body first satisfy ur organ system and then transfer or donate it to others!

take good care of ur health and do drink atleast 8-10 glasses of water daily. Stay active by changing environments!

Menstration in women, if you do not eat meat it is important to learn what vegetarian foods offer iron. Lentils and black strap molasses are good sources but hemi iron found in red meats delivers enough iron to fortify red blood cells so they can deliver more oxygen to the body.
