Help with my Iron results please.

How do these look? My naturopath said I can stop taking my Iron plus c (vital nutrients 40mg iron aspartate, 400mg C ascorbic acid) and vital B-complex (b-6 25mg folate 400mcg. B-12 500mcg and a few others..). Seems like I could be better on my Ferritin, thanks in advance.

If you stop taking them are your levels going to drop? Mine would. Advice I was given was when results are optimal reduce to maintenance dose. What your maintenance dose would be is trial and error.. Reduce, test and adjust accordingly. What is your b12 level? My maintenance dose of b12 is 1000 mcg a day.

I guess he didn't test B-12. Going to have another blood test this week so I'll have them add it and I just remembered I didn't stop my biotin. Thank you for your response.

Your Ferritin is not that high so I would not stop.
