- Iron Supplements May Help Fatigued Women - Doctor's Guide, 5/22/03 -
"Women who experience unexplained fatigue, but who are not anaemic may
benefit from iron supplementation ...The level of fatigue after one month decreased by - 1.82/6.37 points (29%) in the iron group, compared with - 0.85/6.46 points (13%) in the placebo group ... the lower limit for serum ferritin concentration is controversial: iron stores in the bone
marrow may serve as a better indicator of iron deficiency, they add. The lower reference limits for serum ferritin and haemoglobin concentrations have been considered too low for women and it has been
suggested should be the same as for men" - [Abstract]

"Half of the women were also given taurine (1,000 mg per day), while
the others received a placebo ... the group receiving taurine had a significantly greater increase in blood count than did the placebo group. The advantage of taurine over placebo was equivalent to the production of more than three-quarters of a pint of additional blood" - See

- Fighting Fatigue: Iron Overload vs. Anaemia - Functional Foods & Nutraceuticals, 2/02 -
"Menstruating women are more likely to feel tired because of an iron deficiency,
whereas men 40 years and older are more likely to tire from iron overload ... the anaemia rate of adults older than 85 may be similarly high—ranging from 17 to 28 per cent ... In a state of iron overload, fatigue is often accompanied by arthritis,
diabetes, infertility, male impotence, skin pigmentation, and liver or heart disease ... unexplained fatigue may be a physical symptom of masked depression"

The effect of losartan on hemoglobin concentration and renal outcome in
diabetic nephropathy of type 2 diabetes - Kidney Int. 2007 Dec 19 -
"Compared with placebo, losartan treatment was
associated with a significant decrease of hemoglobin, with the largest
between-group difference at 1 year. After adjustment, there were significant
relative risk reductions for losartan compared with placebo for ESRD and for
ESRD or death regardless of the baseline hemoglobin even in those patients
with a baseline hemoglobin below 120 g l(-1). Hence, the renoprotective
properties of losartan were maintained despite a significant lowering of the
hemoglobin concentration"

"Elderly people with anemia have twice the risk of experiencing physical declines that

in elderly populations ... anemia can often be caused by an underlying disease such as cancer or kidney failure or by treatments for these diseases. Poor nutrition is a less common cause among the elderly, and no cause can be identified in about 30% of cases ... the diagnosis of anemia among elderly patients has not
been a priority in the past because there were no effective treatments for the condition. That changed, however, with the introduction of epoetin alfa
