Help with iron results - follow up from 3 arrows nutra

[Beau55]

Hi everyone,

I did an iron panel and I’m quite amazed with my ferritin level. I have been lax with my iron supps since going to T3 only and thought I would definitely have ranked my previously low results. To my disbelief, my ferritin is the highest I’ve ever seen it! I was previously taking the 3 arrows nutra and had great success with it increasing my ferritin. This result is around 2 months with 0 iron supps.

My question is - why is my transferrin saturation and iron result still so low in range? Does this take a while to catch up? Should I still supplement or are my results now ok?

Thank you ☺️

Meanwhile suggest you read her many posts and replies on iron and ferritin

I was going to answer this but I can't read the reference range very reliably. Are these right?

CRP 1.2 (< 3)

Iron 13.6 (10 - 30)

TIBC 52 (45 - 81)

UIBC 38.4 (13 - 56)

Transferrin Saturation 26.2 (25 - 45)

Ferritin 89.5 (30 - 150)

For future reference, when using Medichecks and looking at your test results there is a link above the results to your "Printable Results Report". Click on it. It shows you a PDF file which is much easier to read than the results in boxes with the tiny print for the ranges. It's easier for people on the forum to read as well.

Yes those are correct humanbean ☺️

Oh that’s very handy to know I didn’t realise I could do that on medichecks!
