Hello

I have just begun taking an adrenal supplement before changing to NDT on the advice of DrP. My folate is7.1, ferritin...47 and B12 is361. Is it ok to,supplement these three as well as the adrenals.

Get well soon Dr P

Don't know what units your ferritin is being measured in, do you have those?

[SueHG in reply to Hidden]

Not sure but after the number there is ug/L.the same for the folate reading

Thanks

SueHG, I suggest 210mg Ferrous Fumarate taken with 500-1,000mg vitamin C to aid absorption and minimise constipation. Take iron 4 hours away from thyroid meds and retest ferritin in 6 months. 1,000mcg methylcobalamin B12 plus a B Complex to improve folate and keep the other B vits balanced.

Hi

Can you tell me what ferrous fumarate is, is that the ferritin? Also is B complex, folate? I find it all very confusing.

Thanks

SueHG, Ferrous Fumarate is iron. B Complex contains a number of B vitamins including a little B9 which is folate.
