By dark circles do you mean around your eyes? My eyes ALWAYS have dark circles too!

dark circles around the eyes= iron deficiency!

Yep. But I'm taking 130mg of supplemental iron a day. Why isn't it being of more benefit? I'm seriously thinking it might be circulation. I get cold easy, especially in my fingers, my veins are really large, I'm tired all the time unless I'm like SUPER active. I can not be relaxed or I will fall asleep. The circles and the tiredness is iron deficiency, yes, but the other stuff indicates poor circulation. My iron deficiency may not be a problem of intake or even necessarily uptake, but of delivery.

EDIT:

After doing some additional research on the subject in general and on Horse Chestnut in particular as well as various other herbs used for circulatory problems, I feel Butcher's Broom is going to be closer to fulfilling my needs. If not, I can always buy Horse Chestnut instead later. But I'm going to give Butcher's Broom a 2 month attempt first.

Thanks for even popping the idea into my head at all Doll! I was really at a serious loss as to why I should STILL be experiencing iron deficiency symptoms while taking such a large dose of iron!

I've got this same problem too! I have read about it and but nothing as far as results. I would love to see a before and after if you have one. I have that stupid vein underneath my eyes! with circles no darkness per se but those stupid raccoon circles!
