I'm supplementing with ferrous fumarate 210 x 1 or 2 /day.

Just had my ferritin tested and it came back 160 (10-291)

Since I didn't stop supplementing (except for the day before test) shall I stop supplements or continue because this is showing high because of supplements?¨

My Hb was125 (120-156) if that heps

Thank you

Around halfway through range is optimal. You could reduce dose by half to maintain levels.
