In this video, we're going to talk about why a child may have dark circles underneath the eyes.
It has to do with an iron deficiency. It does not mean that the child has anemia, but they may have anemia. Iron is involved in different chemical pathways and enzymes.
Iron deficiency symptoms
• Fatigue
• Dizziness
• Pale
• Irritable
• Ice cravings
• Delayed growth
Why a child may be iron deficient (causes of dark circles):
• Not consuming foods that have iron
• Consuming foods that block iron
• Digestive problems that won't let them simulate iron
• Consuming antacids or antibiotics
• Consuming grains - Grains have phytates, which bind the iron making it hard to absorb it.
How to get rid of dark circles under the eyes:
• Stop consuming grains
• Get more iron
Best sources of iron:
• Grass-fed red meats
• Grass-fed liver (liver pills)
• Sea Food
Children should not take iron supplements from a drug store for dark circles under the eyes. Always do food-based iron, a food-based complex, or just the food. The child should also be consuming vegetables because when someone has an iron deficiency, they probably have other deficiencies.

When I was young a Dr. said I had an iron deficiency, his remedy was to eat more bread. I was allowed to eat as much Wonder white bread as I wanted. Mom wondered why weighed 100 lbs at 9 yrs old.
Wow, what kind of doctor is he. Who does he think he is? 😒
@@mysterical- - You're funny.
@@mysterical- He was overweight and gave all sorts of bad advice. He passed about 5 years ago, overweight, diabetic, with heart issues.
@@podunkpretties Good riddance.
They sold that wonder bread as "enriched" which meant they added iron. They still do it.
Hi Dr Berg I have been following your lectures for over two years. I don't call them videos as each clip is based on many years of your hard work of learning and gathering this medical/ nutritionist knowledge. I suffered with chronic constipation for many years but gradually getting better after following your advice.
My favourite videos are when you are with Karen. They way you look at her it seems that there's nothing around you but her. You both doing a great job. Have a lot of happy, healthy and hilarious moments ahead.
My nephew is 5 and has dark circles at first we taught it was genetic but it turned out that he is anemic, we did a blood test after watching this video ... thank you Dr 💕
Love from Morocco ❤️❤️
I'm from moroco
It is wonderful to learn about how the human body acts and re-acts. You make so much understanding possible! Thank you, Dr. Berg!
Growing up in a "smoking" household, co-workers always smoking, smoking in a restuarant, smoking in cars etc... I never smoked and had plenty of meat as a child. Dark circles under eyes since childhood and suffering from chronic sinus/allergies issues. In the 40's 50's, 60' and 70's you didn't confront people about smoking around you. The non-smoker was the "bad guy" !!!
elaine goad
My childhood too! I got accidentally burned a few times by cigarettes at family parties. Guess whose fault that was? Mine! How dare a child to walk through a room of lit embers held at their height and get burned!
'40s, '50s, '60s, & '70s
The apostrophe precedes the decades because it indicates / stands for the missing century numbers / digits 19, as in 1950s.
Thanks for this. Part of my childhood as well. I've also seen children develop this symptom quickly from their first exposure to coffee.
Thanks Doc, I needed confirmation on this subject due to this issue with a family member. I was told I did not know what I was talking about.. You are the best go to Guy out there,, Thanks for all you do, say, and just put it out there. Have a Great Day!
Thank you Dr Berg. All your videos in liver disease informed my husband that he already has fatty liver disease. He is trying to make changes now and i just pray and hope that he keeps it up. We have learnt so much from your informative videos that is why i subscribed so i dont miss anything.
Thank you so much for explaining this. I've had them since I was a teenager and now my kids have them. I've always been told by random people that dark circles are genetic!
Dr Berg. This camera setup looks a lot more professional!
Good job and thank you for all your information.
I had asked this very question thru one of your many videos as I was curious for our daughter and now you have addressed it! Thank you so much!
I reeeally LOVE your posts! I've learned so much... I just wish you were around 20-30 years ago, so that I would be in better health now in my 60's-but I am doing my best. Thank you. You are wonderful, and I don't doubt that you have been a GOD-send to many many people.👍
I love that your video are short and to the point . Then I I have to look up the questions I have because of them lol 😆 but I always go away having learned things we should have already known . THANK YOU !
Thanks for all of the time you spend researching and making videos. They have really made an impact on my health choices and my health. It's a shame that most MDs aren't critical thinkers and just accept what they were taught. I am also curious about dark circles under adult eyes.
You almost coverup on all topics! Kudos to you doctor. Like almost all the time I have a medical problem your video pops up on the notification and it would be unbelievable that exact topic will be there! Your jus amazing!
My 3yo is anemic, and the dark circles under his eyes led to the diagnosis.Another great one Dr.Berg!
My 2 year old starting to have them because his a picky eater and only wants milk I wonder if that’s why
My oldest had really dark circles. Dr said they were “allergy shiners”. Once we got his allergies under control they got much better.
BonnieR With allergy shiners, the eyes will also be puffy (and dark).
My 5 y.o. also has mild dark circles. Me and my wife are trying to figure out what causes that, and allergy is likely, but we don't know what to investigate (though we are so suspicious of São Paulo's pollution). How did you identify the allergenic? Tks!
Thanks for this... I think that's what's happening with my 8 year old...
My 4 year old have allergy but we don't know the reason.. n his allergy not getting better
@@beenishadnan5428 Try seeking a licensed nutritionist and request a blood test, this test will result in any allergies according to genetic markers.
I had dark circles too as a kid, but I later learned I have an allergy to milk. It was also probably an iron deficiency too because I was super picky and I didn't like anything. I did have an iron deficiency after a major surgery as a teen. My mom made steak and filet mignon a lot to help.
Great video! Please provide more information on children’s health and optimal nutrition.
Thank you.
I appreciate all of your videos. They're not only informative they are life saving. One has to be an idiot to turn to other sources. You're intelligent and caring about the people you help. I thank you. I have only flirted with you cause you are very handsome and I can do it. I'm a grandmother but still know a good looking guy when I see one. Keep up the great work. We need you. Grandma Rose
Hello to your lovely wife.
you are my go to guy for pretty much every health issue so id really like to thank you Eric for all your support you the boss
Love this Dr ... so knowledgeable, I’ve learn a lot just listening to him..5 stars
Had this issue as a child ,what you have here is good information. Thanks so much.
Wow! I’m so glad I found this video. Never knew iron deficiency can cause dark under eyes circles. Thank for sharing. Very helpful. ❤️
My daughter has dark circles under her eyes at times. I never knew why. Thanks for the information! 🙂
Thank you for all the videos you produce, I find I learn so much from you, from this video about dark rings around the eyes to intermittent fasting and ACV, in this age of information as a commodity I really appreciate how in depth you are
I cant begin to tell you how thankful I am for you. You are a blessing Dr
I learn so much from your videos! Thank you for posting so many informative vids!
This is so true, but some have Thallessimia and can't hold a lot of iron in their blood. But heme iron helps for sure. I have had dark circles for
my whole life and it worsened as an adult when I listened to folk say red meat is bad. Darker skin and circles and thin hair and nails, from lack of oxygen because of lack of iron which carries O2. Iron plus folate and b12 and vitamin c and D are crucial. It really saved my life
U have thelesemia?
Abawitx, thank you for sharing your testimony. It was very helpful.
My 6 year old boy have dark circle eyes. I'm not sure how to treat it, so I did a search and came upon this video. Thank you so much, Dr. Berg.
Did it work?
I've always wondered why my niece had dark circles- thinking she was never getting enough sleep. 😅 I learned something new today! 👏🙌
I've noticed it too on young ones, but how to get there parents to see this video?
Same here, as I stated above. I knew it had to be more.
@@noreenn6976 yeah she has allergies which contributes to it as well😬
@@faithdodge163 Hey maybe your niece is abused by her parents. Children get dark circles around the eyes when they are sodomised. Pressure in the spine causes dark circles around the eyes and also eye bags in adults. Gay men have always weird looking eyes.
@@jimdim1010 Um no. Take that train of thought elsewhere bud. 😐
Thank you..you are number one . couldn't find any decent info anywhere except from you!! Now whatever question I have I come to you.. I helped a friend of mine get pregnant by telling her to do keto and sent your your videos because she has PCOS.. ! Thank you again!!
Thankyou Dr Berg I appreciate your teaching and content!
I’m retirement age and encouraged to eat liver not only for iron content but Vitamin D3, better than any supplement!
I find organic chicken livers very tender and tasty cooked in butter/avocado oil with parsley and cream, alcohol can be added for extra flavour, served with potato, rice or sourdough bread!
I know how much you and Karen love cooking, so decided share a recipe I use, enjoy 🙂👍🥂.
Dr. Berg, have you ever offered a child octopus for dinner? It is hard enough to get them to eat broccoli! My child thinks she is vegetarian, but doesn't eat vegetables!!! This family argument is part of MY long term stress!!😁
Learning a lot from you Dr. Berg and I appreciate your work very much! Dr. Berg I was wondering if you could do a video on Boron Glycinate and why Boron is an important trace mineral in the body. I believe public awareness is very diminished about the important role of Boron in bone, teeth and joint health and the whole calcium metabolism. Thank you in advance!
Doctor Berg, thank you for this! I usually offer citrus fruits with meals that have grass fed beef in them to my kids- and I tell them why...They say, “ Okay Mom, we get it” !
Keep up the good work- we are into it!
Cheers from California
Giving up gluten and dairy helped a friend cure his sinusitis and dark circles.
@serendipidus1 How long did it take for your dark circles to clear?
How long did it take for your friends dark circles to fade
As always, great information! My health education increases every day with your videos. Again, thank you for all your hard work researching & educating all the people who follow you. You are appreciated !
Great work .. always watching and waiting for hot healthy tips .
what about the adults and dark eye circles ?
is it in the next video ?
I was wondering that too. Let's hope so @drberg.
LOL, i was going to write the same thing
Yup I was born with it and had it my whole life
Every doctor I've seen says to me "you had a rough life growing up didn't you? Allergy-kid weren't you? I have a drug for you." When I say I'm not allergic to anything I know of. They can't explain the dark circles under my eyes.
please, also for adults... what supplements or vitamins can help with dark circles
Great Videos. I read your book and have bought it 5 more times to give to my close friends and family (send them the Kindle version from Amazon). Very Good Videos! thanks!
Love Dr. Berg's videos!!! they are my do to for sooooo many things. Thank you Dr. Berg. You are an excellent teacher.
Great content always doc! Keep up the good job!
I was just thinking about this today to find out the reason for my daughter, and your video just popped up :) Thanks so much!
As a vegetarian I'm usually low in iron. I grave ice so badly some times I wake at night to get a fix. The cravings fade when when iron levels are back up. This video was very informative, thanks for your time xx
I just found out that I’ve had an iron deficiency my whole life! This video is perfect timing. I eat very well, and I only eat real sourdough or sprouted grains every once and a while, red meat everyday, veggies, liver... But my iron is still very low. I have heavy menstrual periods. Ironically, food based iron supplements lessen the blood flow. Can you explain this? Also, my hemoglobin is normal, but all my iron stores, saturation, and serum levels are low, with m TBIC high. My tongue has been swollen for many years, and I’ve had major fatigue my whole life. Could my body be depleting my myoglobin instead of my hemoglobin?
Copper helps the iron in the body!
Very helpful video. Will try out the liver capsules with my daughter. Thank you for your advice.
Thank you very much for sharing this Dr. Eric i like ur way of explanation please share more and more videos thanks once again
My opinion of your videos is this, and I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your videos are short and to the point and very knowledgeable and you seem very accurate and I don’t see how you could get any better than that thumbs up in my book👍
Also sinusitis (inflammation of a nasal sinus) is a cause for dark circles.
That condition is often easily remedied by removing dairy from the diet
Try a neti pot too helped mine
Remove gluten and dairy from the diet...
Yes, the south.. gotta love that pine pollen from those loblolly pine trees that are everywhere
Blossom EPIC
Thx Dr Berg for all your informative video's, it really helps alot 🙏🙏. Pls continue sharing your knowledge with us 😊.
Dear doc, you have helped me and my family so much. You have given me answers to health issues that my family doc couldn't help me with. Your videos and explanation are amazing. Thank you for all the work that you do❤
Right on! Thanks for the feedback!
Very interesting information thank you so much 😊
When I moved from California and the Sunshine to Oregon I started to get dark circles under my eyes for the first time. I have been low on vitamin D3. So I was prescribed D3 to take everyday and it helps.
Oh good God. My kid craves ice. Uncontrollably. Thanks, Dr. Berg. Will have it checked out.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience
Another great one Doc.🤠👍
Does cooking in cast iron actually help increase your iron intake? I've heard mixed things, but would lean towards believing that some extra iron does end up in the food.
I think that's true. If you cook tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce in an iron pan I think that draws it into the food.
Thank you this was very informative and useful information.
The first thing I would think of when I see a child with circles around the eyes and other ocular symptoms, is chronic allergic rhinitis. Quite common
Dr. Berg, Thank you for another great video. My son is 12 and has always been anemic. He eats plenty of red meat but his test still come back every year showing the same results. He has only had his iron level checked for his yearly wellness visit but they just tell us to take vitamins with iron from the pharmacy. That's doesn't help either. What other test should I have his doctor run to see if there may be another problem causing this? Will being anemic affect him when he goes through puberty? Thanks so much. 😊
Maybe he has coeliac disease. This caused me to be deficient in many vitamins.
Get him off all forms of gluten and his health should improve.
@@meera2531 Thanks for the advice. ❤
@@jjuneau1976 I have dark circles yet and I'm pretty sure gluten/bread/etc messes up with me and causes more inflammation, including edemas. Cut that out and iron will be absorbed, trust me. I read a study about it, but it was a while ago, but never forgot. Don't feed him any forms of gluten/pasta!, etc, etc.
Growing up, my test has always come back anemic as well. Then I became pregnant and through dna blood work, I turned out to have Beta Thalassemia. My first born son, was also checked because of his my condition and indeed he is also beta thal and some days the dark eye puffs really worries me... adding more leafy greens to his diet works.
*Get your vit C in to digest Iron better!*
Yaacov That is true !
Agree
Get some spleen , full of iron and vitamine c .

Thank you so much for your help. 💙
Thank you so much Dr Berg from Egypt , my son has the same problem thank you so much you will help me to solve it
It should be compulsory that no doctor gets a licence to practice until he learns as much about NUTRITION as Dr Berg - - of course, the drug companies and Sugar Barons wouldn't like that.
Well no, that's what dieticians are for. What should happen is that more dietician referrals should be made. I get so frustrated when I see patients who have diabetes and they have never seen a dietician. 🤦 I work in dentistry and gum disease goes hand in hand with diabetes.
Best comment EVER
Really great at getting message across really enjoy great explanation
more about dark circles please ♡
This dude should have his own tv show
THANKS, VERY HELPFUL IF CORRECT, I WILL CHECK IT OUT,,, GOOD JOB,
what about us old people ?
Had this as a child, and it is still an occasional problem. Almost certainly irritable bowel syndrome, caused by too much sweet tea for two meals per day. If you have had this for years, it is almost impossible to clear completely. In my case, I have to avoid caffeine, especially coffee/tea with any sugar or sweetener.
I always watch your videos and sometimes share them with friends and family, because you present interesting every day remedies for all kinds of ailments and decease, and I appreciate the time and effort you put into every video. 🙏🤙🤙💥💥💥💥🇵🇷
My daughter has Chronic constipation for last 2-3 years and she has dark circles. Is it because her digestive system are not absorbing iron. Can you put more light.
I love ur advice n follow this in daily routine... Thanks doc
Thank you Dr Berg for bringing this up. Am southern african(relevant bcoz Iron deficiency is a real problem there), had an undiagnosed iron deficiency since I started periods (very heavy) craved to eat dirt. At 31 started to develop all sorts of health problems..fatigue, brain fog, inflammation esp of the upper torso, heavy legs (couldn climb stairs), heart palpitations, unexplained bruising, restless legs (OMG I couldn't sleep at night and esp long haul flights) developed lots of allergies..all this surfaced the moment I landed in Australia. I was taking iron supplements but they were probably not being absorbed by my body. But since I cut out all grains from my diet I started to see some improvement but the brain fog only subsided once I eliminated all sucrose and fructose from diet. Its only recently that it occurred to me that maybe the iron supplement was not effective (the drs have refused to do an iron infusion bcoz they reckon my ferritin levels on paper aren't that bad though i have had to quit full time work becoz of all these symptoms smh) I am now taking Maltofer which is already doing wonders in only 2 weeks and for the first time in 5 years I feel optimistic about the future. I still cant believe I went through all these health issues because of lack of Iron... (drs currently think I have lupus or mitochondrial disease)
Dr. BERG: Did you get a sunburn? Please do a video on Summer Skin and Health care. Love your videos.
Chlorella is also loaded in iron.
What are good sources of vitamin c ? Was surprised to find even grapefruit juice had little because pasteurized. Does cooking broccoli kill the C too? Concentrated lemon juice has nine either. Everything is heat pasteurized so no C!
Dr. Berg is it safe to put a child on the Keto diet? If I did what would be the safest way to do that? I have a 5 year old with autism and lots of gut issues. I could use your advice please? My husband has epilepsy and I want to put my whole family on this diet but safely.
Thanks Dr.Eric Berg,
You're a good man dr berg
Good video DR BERG👌👌
I was always that kid AND still am. Still have dark color under my eyes as an adult. Thank goodness for a pigmented concealer. Always was told just drink more water, never helped.
Love love love your videos - always my go-to when I need help! Have told all of my friends and family, and they too now are either on Keto or use your advice videos regularly. Thank you so much x
My daughter doesn’t have iron deficiency. She is 2 years old and her height is like 3 years old kid her weight is also good but still having dark circles. She don’t eat fruits and vegetables only like chicken and meat is this the reason or anything else? Please reply
Always good!
What about the "lucky iron fish" you can put in the pan whilst cooking? Is that any good? My daughter is very fussy. She used to eat boiled eggs but now will only have chicken nuggets. I ate liver twice this week but she won't try it. 🤔
Thankyou for the Informations☺
This is such wonderful information! Thank you so much.
My 2 year old has always had dark circles as have I. I have been iron deficient for most of my life...my mother and grandmother are iron deficient as well and we suspect both my aunt's and one of my siblings are deficient as well. My 2 year old shows all the same signs as I did for it. Her paed suspects it's hereditary but all our blood work doesn't show any of the hereditary conditions. Very confusing. I have never been able to successfully raise my iron...only through iron injections have I finally been able to attain great iron levels and I'm feeling so much better
My 2 year old just started having some red under eyes out of no where I think it might be allergy or maybe iron deficiency he is a picky eater
Dark circles can also be caused by allergies and hypothyroid. Get your child tested before you load him or her up with supplements.
Thanks a lot, so helpful. The doctor told us its also allergies, is it also common?
Dr. Berg can you do video on dark lines black/brown on finger nails. Thx so much.
Dear Dr. Berg I am from India my fifteen years old son is suffering from growth Harmon deficiency I just want to know that how can I improve his growth according to his age please suggest I shall be very thankful to you.
Thank you so much for your videos. My son is autistic and has massive hearing sensitivity, he has suffered for many years, he is 8 now, do you think he is missing a mineral or any suggestion I really appreciate it. 🙏
Hello Dr Berg.
In this Video you are recommending to not eat vegetables for iron and prefer red meat over them instead.
However in your Keto Diet Video, which is for fat loss, you are recommending to consider eating 7 to 8 cups of vegetables to avoid nutrient deficiency while being on a low carb diet. In such a scenario how those nutrients are going to get absorbed. Or Is Iron absorption is an exception in these two cases.
Hope to receive your reply.
Nice thank you...but how is this possible that it is difficult to absorb iron from green vegetables? I hv heard dat it is hard to absorb from animal products!?
Great info.
Thank you Dr Berg
My 4 year old has huge under eye bags. I’ve asked her pediatrician and she usually brushes it off and says it’s probably seasonal allergies. The thing is, I’ve given her allergy medications and it doesn’t help at all. Can you please tell me what I can do to help her.
