Iron Infusions
An interesting article on iron infusions and when they should be considered for the general population.It mentions that inflammation can stop iron absorption. It also confirms that newer iv iron formulations are much safer with very low risk of adverse side effects. Most GPs will say iron infusions are

hydroxycobalamin and light exposure
Hello all, I am careful to store my hydroxy ampoules in a dark, temperature controlled place. How critical is it that the serum is temporarily exposed to light while drawing it up and injecting? My husband helps me but he thinks I worry too much about what is a couple of minutes of exposure to light

First Ever Prescribed Injection: My Thoughts
I had my first ever b12 injection at my GP a couple hours ago. The nurse asked which arm. I chose my right. It stung a bit, but not too bad. I was given a spot plaster and sent on my way. I’m not going to exaggerate and state that I feel a tangible difference, but I do feel somewhat more steadfast and

IFA negative, Low Active B12 - advice please.
Hi - a brief update and request for advice on B12. I have autoimmune hypothyroidism. Following a disappointing Endo appointment I wrote a detailed email to request an appointment with the Consultant as I felt I hadn’t had the chance to discuss my concerns properly with her junior. This was granted

Anemia
dealing with iron deficiency anemia of chronic diseases and suspect a B12 deficiency too but I almost think my immune system has attacked something else, to the point that I have a whole nother level of Anemia’s … It’s been 6 weeks since I had my last iron infusion and I’m starting to feel really weak

is there a good time of day to take your b12 shot
So we have been given permission to do B12 shots at home combined with 200 mg ferrous sulphate and 20,000 of Vit D by our GP who will be doing further diagnostics in the mean time...the one thing I forgot to ask him is if there is a good time of day to take the B12 shots...morning, before bed, before

Iron Info Heme vs Non Heme
So, Heme iron is from animal sources and is apparently better absorbed than non Heme iron (from plant sources). The two different iron types are absorbed by different pathways. But, there are real risks in supplementing with Heme iron - Coronary Artery disease and Cancer incidence increases. I would

any higher strength iron glycinate supplements?
Hi, thanks in advance. My teenager is taking iron glycinate 27mg iron per tablet. I sourced this after the fumarate prescribed by GP seemed to be giving stomach pain. Current dose of 1 per day is maybe not sufficient to increase her ferritin. It was around 15 for several years (till I read up about
