Gentle iron
Hi everone,Following on from my recent posts regarding
iron
supplements, I would like to let you know that I have doubled my
iron
intake in the last couple of days and it has helped my RLS . It broke through at 5am, but from 9pm until the breakthrough at 5am, I was mostly free from symptoms.

Iron tests
She booked me in for
iron
studies tests next Wednesday at 11.25 am and said I didn’t need to fast, but I read online I do need to. They have an appointment tomorrow at 8.15 am I can have if not. Do you need to fast before
iron
studies tests?

iron tests
Do you need to fast before
iron
tests? Would I be better waiting an extra week to have the test as I only had my ferritin tested on the 8th May?

Iron levels
I've just been looking at the Mayo Clinic algorithm of July 2021 and they suggest that for serum ferritin concentrations equal to or less than 75 μg/L ,
iron
therapy should be started. But I think I've read posts in this forum suggesting a higher baseline should be aimed for.

Iron Levels
I have been advised that my
iron
levels are high and he may need to refer me back to Christies for them to look at but he wants to do another blood test in 8 weeks first to see what is happening. He kept telling me not to worry at this stage (which I wasn't), but wondered what this could be?

Ferritin iron advice please
Hello, My recent ferritin results was 21% of range, even though
iron
was 78%. I did neglect
iron
the last few weeks a bit as I ran out of my usual
iron
tablets. I have now Solgar's Gentle
Iron
20 and
iron
in a liposomal form (gel) 20 mg as well. How many should I be taking to raise it?

Potential adverse effects of long-term venesection used to treat PV.
Iron
overload: While
iron
deficiency is a common consequence of phlebotomy, in some individuals, it's possible to develop
iron
overload. This occurs when
iron
is absorbed more efficiently than it is removed from the body.

Low levels of iron good for us?
Hey, folks, been coming across articles talking about how our bad cells crave
iron
and in fact can cause
iron
deficiencies by using it up. Many supplements are
iron
chelators, including turmeric. Anyway, just got
iron
results back and they are on the very low end of normal.

Iron supplement help
I have ordered the three arrows
iron
repair to see if I can increase ferritin. Can anyone tell me from my recent results, if one 20mg capsule a day would push my other results over the range? Or would it take a much larger amount? I also take viviscal with 14mg of
iron
in it. Thank you!

Saturation - Ferritin I tell all of this so that others may be aware to keep an eye on your ferritin levels, if they are trending lower over time then it is something

Iron every or ever other night?
I'm loathe to increase my
iron
too much, I hate the way it messes up my guts, but I'm now considering taking it every night rather than every other night.I've been taking 280mg
iron
fumarate with Spatone
iron
solution (5mg). Any thoughts?
