Low Iron
I've been taking

ferratin blood level
Also I have been taking
spatone
iron sachets for 6 months so would you say I’d need a higher iron supplement? If so could anymore please advise on a decent one ?

A bit of a meltdown
I have recently changed my GP for numerous reasons one being he kept telling me that a Ferritin result of 11 was satisfactory, my new GP says it should be treated and has prescribed an iron supplement but it is also loaded with parabens so I don't want to take it, he said the

Why still low Iron
Previously, I was only taking
Spatone
, but upon your recommendations, I switched to pricey grass-fed beef iron (heme), and now my Iron levels seem to have dropped even lower than before I started supplementing.

low iron and folate
Here are some of the results she received back in August when she was advised to take
Spatone
. At that time she had been taking iron tablets but had stopped because she was "fed up with taking them". Not sure how to advise her. Any ideas?

spatone iron supplement.
it’s early days but I have been advised to take Ferritin and so I now have purchased some
Spatone
. However, I am aware that I must NOT take it with the NDT and that it needs to be taken on an empty stomach.

Low iron in pregnancy; Spatone recommended - what was tested?
It’s 109 and we worry if it goes below 105 so you’d better get some
Spatone
”. I don’t know much about iron but from this site I have learned that a full iron panel consists of four elements. It looks like my daughter has had one element tested. Is that sufficient? Is
Spatone
the NHS go to remedy?

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?

wired after b-complex
I’ve been self injecting for a month now (plus low dose methylfolate and
Spatone
) and while some of the pins and needles type symptoms have reduced, the fatigue has been crushing. Decided to add a low dose b-complex to the mix and started on 1/4 of the dose.

Retested: low D & B12, high ferritin
I have iron infusions when my ferritin gets low (last Oct 2022) because I cannot tolerate iron tabs so *I only take
spatone
10mg per day* to maintain and tranexamic acid for heavy periods. I can't understand how this is so high! I will contact my Dr about it.

How to take Levo before a blood test when I split my dose, and feritin level
I am now taking
Spatone
liquid iron, but feel it may take some time to build my feritin level up. Any ideas what else I can take to boost Iron. I have started eating liver and minced beef, despite not being a fan of red meat. I normally eat fish and veg. beans, pulses etc.

low B12 - should I ask for injections?
He said it’s normal but I’ve started liquid supplements again - 1000mcg of methylcobalamine,
spatone
twice a day and 10 drops of vitamin D3. Why have the levels fallen in a year when I became better last year? Should I ask for B12 injections? Apparently, I don’t have anaemia.

New here and would like advice!
This is after
spatone
as can’t tolerate iron tablets. I have IBS and awful flare ups. Around 6 years ago dr mentioned routine bloods showed a random thyroid result. 6 months later this went back to normal. This happened several times over next few years.
