any way to increase ferritin without increasing iron saturation?
after two months of taking iron supplements (75mg every other night on empty stomach), my ferritin rose from 51 to 158. Unfortunately, my iron saturation rose from 46% to 59%. This is caused by fairly high iron (172) and fairly low transferrin (291), though both are within normal range. My doctor

Iron levels and huge TSH drop
Hi I've got two questions for today if thats ok: 1. I've finally managed to get my iron panel results (second time of trying) and the results are as follows: All in range: Iron 16 TIBC 64.5 UIBC 48.5 Out of range: Transferrin saturation 24.8 Ferritin 13.4 So from what I gather from reading

Heme iron versus ferrous gluconate
Recent bloodwork shows a low iron problem accross several measures. PCP says to take ferrous gluconate. I remember iron discussions from a previous site in which heme iron was recommended for its better absorption, though ferrous gluconate is superior to some other forms in terms of absorption. I

think I’ve found my trigger.
I have posted on here before asking for advice. Have always suffered on and off but the last 18 months have been awful. Saw a dctr last year who just gave me sleeping tablets, saw a dctr a few weeks ago who gave me pramipexole but after reading on here and other sites about the side effects decided

Supplements
Hi lovely people. Just a question. In the past, I have had v low iron, folate rock bottom and prob other vitamins low that I never had checked. I have worked a lot on my micro biome/gut this past year plus supplementing continuously. I cut out gluten as leaky gut was diagnosed through a test.

Starting B12 injections, how often?
Hello everybody, I will be receiving my first B12 injection next week. My blood test results were as follows folate 3.4ug/L, ferritin 19.9ug/L and B12 218ug/L before any medication. I started on iron and folate tablets a week ago. What I'm wondering is how often should I be getting the B12 injection

New Year New Bloods! It's time to titrate! Please help!
I made it to 8 weeks. This feels like a long post - I have both Thyroid and Iron issues to work out... I tried to make it shorter, but did not succeed, so here is a 5 bullet summary first.
TL;DR: Got results I didn't quite expect:
- I only changed a wee bit... + 12.5 on the levo
Changed

RE iron tablet recommendations
Hi again I have to get my iron levels up.. I have one perscription from my GP for 305 mg Caps Ferrous fumurate (but when I go to the pharmacies here they only have Galfer which has sooo many horrible ingredients, some of which have been banned in Australia, some euro countries)... And my private Endo

Hi Guys Thank you all in advance. Update on hubby. To remind you of his background, two stents in 2018. He has heart disease due to genetics not lifestyle. He doesn’t drink excessively or smoke, has a bit more tum than in his youth but still does a physical job as a builder. He’s been on a low

Help with test results - haemochromatosis with iron deficiency?
A few years ago I regularly had blood tests which showed high iron levels so my doc suspected Haemochromatosis. I had the genetic testing which showed I had the gene mutation. I used to get blood drawn to treat it and bring down my iron levels. However, recently I had blood tests which showed low ferritin

Multivitamins
Hello. I just wondered if anyone could recommend a good multivitamin that has no iron. Since my diagnosis of GH in Dec 2022, my GP advised me to stop taking my regular multivitamin as it contained iron. However I’ve found it difficult to find something to replace it. Thanks in advance. 😀
