Hello there, I'd be glad of some advice on my latest iron panel... results are below and comparisons with my last test 4 months ago. I have been taking 2 Solgar Gentle Iron 20mg tablets a day since then to raise my levels.
Iron - 17.12 umol/L (Range: 5.8 - 34.5) - this has gone up from 11.0
TIBC - 50.62 umol/L (Range: 45 - 81) - this is up from 45
UIBC - 33.50 umol/L (Range: 24.2 - 70.1) - not tested previously
Transferrin Saturation - 33.82 % (Range: 20 - 50) - up from 24%
Ferritin - 54.50 ug/L (Range: 13 - 150) - up from 37
I realize 2 X 20mg is quite a high dose - should I be looking to reduce to one tablet a day? I'm afraid I don't really understand the above results at all so would be really glad of some advice, many thanks 😁
