In this episode, we review research exploring whether disrupted iron metabolism may contribute to persistent symptoms after COVID-19 infection, and how doctors interpret these findings under EU medical guidance.

You’ll learn:

• What Long Covid is (symptoms lasting more than 12 weeks after infection)

• How iron supports oxygen transport and cellular energy production

• The difference between iron deficiency and anaemia

• Why inflammation can alter ferritin and iron availability

• Symptoms linked to low iron: fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breat ...
