In January I made my iron tests. They looked a little low in range.
In April I started to take iron supplements. After 4 weeks I stopped them for a week and then retested (in a different lab).
January
Serum iron level: 16 ( 9 - 30 umol/L)
Serum transferrin: 28 ( 25 - 45 umol/L)
Transferrin saturation index: 0.29 (0.0 - 0.45)
Ferritine: 63 (15 - 150 ug/L)
April
Serum iron level: 28,6 (6,60 - 25,90 umol/L) too high
Serum transferrin: 2560(1800 - 3800 mg/L)
Transferrin saturation index: 49 (15 - 50 %)
Ferritine: 65 (10 - 204 Ng/ml)
I can not understand how it happened that my iron is so high so fast...unless it became high already in March before the 2nd test. Anyway what could I do to make it optimal? Is it possible I have any MTHFR problem?
Since March I started to use iron pans. I wonder whether I should stop it.
My husband says lactoferrin is good to try. I would like to hear more options.
Thank you in advance.
