Good morning from Belgium..

Could anyone look at my iron results and tell me what i should focus on? 🤓 🩷 I eat meat daily, but I do have heavy periods.

Iron: 53 (50-170)

Transferrine : 2.37 (2-3.60)

iron saturation: 18 (15-50)

ferritine: 75 (15-150)

Sorry you haven’t had a reply Sofie007.

Iron isn’t one of my specialist subjects so I’m sorry that I’m not much help—but adding a reply sometimes gets a post a bit more attention so hopefully someone will be along with some advice.

If not, do please post again tomorrow—do a brand new post if so—and hopefully you’ll get the help you need. 🙂
