It is amino acids that hold molecules of iron. 12:50 Exercise helps with iron metabolism and your cardiovascular system.  14:15 High ferritin and high hemoglobin and hematocrit mean that there is a lot of free iron floating around.  17:50 Phlebotomy therapy for study participants with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease showed improvements in ferritin, hemoglobin, liver enzymes and markers of insulin sensitivity.  21:40 High frequency blood donation is protective against cardiovascular disease and reduced relative risk of having a heart attack.'
