[[Bree]] is taking iron supplement pills as part of her preparation for [[The Ceremony (ritual)|the ceremony]]. This is first mentioned in the video [[In The Park]]. [[Daniel]] notices Bree taking pills, identifies them as iron pills, and asks if her [[Bree's parents#Father|dad]] is making her take them, which Bree refuses to answer.

== Medical Uses ==

Iron pills are often prescribed for iron deficiency anemia.

Iron deficiency is caused by:
#chronic bleeding (hemoglobin contains iron)
##excessive menstrual bleeding
##non-menstrual bleeding
##bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract (ulcers, hemorrhoids, etc.)
##rarely laryngological bleeding or from the respiratory tract
#inadequate intake (special diets low in dietary iron)
#substances (in diet or drugs) interfering with iron absorption
#malabsorption syndromes

== Analysis ==

Some fans have speculated that [[Bree]] is taking the supplements to stave off anemia from excessive bleeding because her [[The Ceremony (ritual)|ritual]] involves drawing blood. This rumor has not been confirmed.

It was also speculated that her prescribed diet for the ceremony was low in iron, hence requiring that she supplement it with pills. Bree has since said in the forum, "My diet was not a "diet to lose weight diet" ... it was restrictive but only to certain things. No sugar but lots of red meat. That sorta stuff," which makes this theory highly unlikely.
