ABSTRACT
An autosomal recessive genetic condition with a high frequency in populations of European descent is hemochromatosis. Reports indicate that 60% to 90% individuals of European descent exhibit a mutation linked to hemochromatosis. A hereditary or acquired illness called hemochromatosis is brought on by an individual's body storing too much iron. The pathogenetic approach of chronic, excessive dietary iron absorption coupled with the breakdown of normal regulatory systems contributes to hemochromatosis. As a result, ferritin, especially hemosiderin, which is a kind of stored iron, gradually but significantly rises. The human body needs iron to function normally on a daily basis and to be healthy. On the other hand, too much iron caused the hazardous circumstances. Hemochromatosis can lead to an iron buildup that affects many bodily systems and organs, including the heart, liver, pancreas, endocrine glands, and joints. In healthy individuals, feedback systems impede the absorption of iron as stored iron levels rise. Dietary restrictions, such as consuming green tea, are required to reduce the absorption of iron. A great plant supplement for healthy liver function is turmeric. Diseases brought on by an excess of iron can be successfully treated with a variety of herbal supplements. Plant-based vitamins such as manjishta, spirulina, and neem aid in the efficient treatment of hemochromatosis. Chinese herbal remedies are also incredibly powerful. When iron overload occurs, scavenging surplus iron can be beneficial. During this period, iron overload can be controlled with the use of botanical chelators. Antioxidant and iron chelation activities work well. Supplemental nutrition also aids in controlling iron excess symptoms. Maintaining an individual's body's iron load is another benefit of taking dietary supplements.
