Thanks, OC ...However, the list of "Ingredients to Avoid" doesn't appy to everyone.

Example, if we're LOW on potassium, sodium...but i realize we need to keep our labs up-to-date. 👍

That is very true.

You are welcome. Have a good Christmas, even though the times are not normal. May the New Year be better.

OC, turning a page on a mere calendar & wishing for a Happy NEW Year will not automatically make it "happy"...Hope that doesn't seem pessimistic. I believe it's reality, especially at my age.

I don't expect "normal", as shown in my recent lab numbers. Averages overall are ok (in standard range) but my RBC , HGB, & WBC have all dropped even though my iron & platelet count are in "normal" range.

I've been taking a vegatable "Blood Builder" for 2 months but must assume "anemia" is normal for me. (or anyone with CKD?)

Will be "chatting" with my nephrologist in a few days ☺️

My RBC, HGB, WBC, etc are also out of normal range. I am trying a vegan iron pill. I will wait and see what 2021 brings also and what my next bloodwork shows and what Doctor says at next visit . Will be "chatting". Wish you a Happy New Year.
