Ferritin levels

[Jodypody]

I’ve been supplementing iron for quite sometime now but my ferritin is only 58? Any suggestions

What are you taking and how much? Previous post says that you

"take gentle iron and b vitamins sporadically"

Do you take your iron tablets with Vit C?

I eat liver to raise Ferritin as I find even Gentle Iron constipating works for me.

I take gentle iron and b vits too plus vitamin C, B12 and aswhadhanga for stress

I take gentle iron

Yes, but as I said, how much do you take and how often. You mentioned before that you take it "sporadically".

[Jodypody in reply to SeasideSusie]

Hi thanks for replying yes I just take one daily. Should I take two ?

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to Jodypody]

Gentle Iron I think contains either 20 or 22mg elemental iron compared to 65mg in ferrous fumarate. You could try 2 x Gentle Iron and see if it helps. Do you take it with Vit C?

Eating liver regularly tends to be the best way to raise Ferritin.

I know but I couldn’t face it. I’ll try 2 and get some more vitamin C tomorrow. I’ll be rattling soon 😂
