Sounds like you’re dealing with quite a lot with the iron deficiency anemia, and I’m sorry you’re struggling with the side effects of the iron tablets. About syp lohasava, yes, it’s an Ayurvedic formulation known to help with iron deficiency by combining iron with natural herbs which supports digestion and absorption more gently than synthetic pills often do. Let’s see how it might work for you and the best way to make it fit your routine.
Lohasava is traditionally used to boost hemoglobin levels and you usually notice improvements within a few weeks, but this can vary depending on your individual constitution (Prakriti), like how your body metabolizes iron and the state of your agni (digestive fire). If your fatigue and weakness are related primarily to low iron, you might start to feel better in a couple of weeks, keeping expectations realistic.
Taking lohasava usually works best after meals, as it can be a bit intense on an empty stomach for some people. But be sure not to take it with dairy or calcium-rich foods, as you’re right, calcium competes with iron for absorption. So, good idea to space it out from milk or fortified foods by an hour or two.
In terms of side effects, most people tolerate it better than the conventional counterpart, but, well – everyone’s different. Keep an eye for minor digestive discomfort. And in regards to menstruation, it can actually be beneficial during your cycle since that’s a time when women often lose some iron.
Additional Ayurvedic practices might support your journey—like consuming more iron-rich foods in your diet, such as greens, beets and adding herbs like ashwagandha for overall vitality. Be cautious with combining too many remedies at once, though. Balance and moderation are key. Drink plenty of water and consider pranayama breathing exercises to improve overall energy level.
Lastly, even if it’s Ayurveda we are talking about, keep your physician checked in to monitor your progress safely. Any quick queries or concerns—don’t hesitate to drop by again!
