Ferritin

Good morning

I am trying to raise my ferritin. I’ve done my research and believe I am doing the right thing. I got some ferritin from iherb which has good reviews. I think it is making me constipated though! Due to taking T4/3 at 7 am, I take ferritin mid afternoon.

Any advice much appreciated.

I took Spatone when my ferritin was low and I ate pate twice a week.

How long did that take to raise levels? Did you think about Floradix?

It took a while but cannot remember how long because it was about 10 years ago. Ironically my ferritin is now too high because of inflammation.

Taking VitC can help the constipation and the absorption of iron. Also taking Magnesium.

hi Jacqui, during tests my GP found my ferritin is low at 10.1. However she just suggested eating more iron rich foods. I'd be interested to know how your levels are now and what you recommend. thank you

hello jacqiS71 and others I have a similar issue of low ferritin, and wonder what if anything you found has helped? 9I eat plenty of meat) I also wonder about things that inhibit absorption like phytates in nuts, oxylates in vegetables, and even polypehnols in berries and i heard turmeric can chelate .. i believed all those to be good for me so getting confused!
