Iron Supplements

[Haynton]

Hi all,just wanted some advice .My recent medichecks bloods revealed my Ferritin level was 117 (30-400).Do you think I should supplement with Iron to get this figure up or is it ok ?.I have Hashimotos

Thanks.

Im sure others will respond...especially if im incorrect but 117 is quite good, im a poor 23 below the range , you should be 70 or above...lucky you.😊😊

As suggested in my reply to your previous post, eating liver, liver pate or black pudding is your best bet.

Males need higher levels than females so you should aim for half way through the range.

The problem with taking iron tablets is that if your serum iron level is already high enough, you will push it higher by taking tablets. If you've had an iron panel and know that serum iron is low, then fair enough.

Optimal levels for iron panel here:

Maximum liver - 200g per week due to it's high Vit A content.
