Any other ways to boost Ferritin?

[Guest guest]

I'm finally getting somewhere after taking supplements to boost my

B12/Magnesium/Selenium/Zinc but i'm having a problem with Spatone even though

it's supposed to be more gentle than some. I felt a real boost in my energy

after 10 days but had to come off it due to stomach pains and now i'm def

feeling tired again. I was only taking 1 sachet a day. Any suggestions

appreciated....

Thx x

I had real problems with iron supplements. First I tried ferrous fumarate -

disastrous gastric effects. Then Floradix - just as bad. Finally Spatone, and it

gave me quite an upset stomach to begin with but it improved over time. Now I

can manage 2 sachets a day.

I also got hold of some transdermal iron, that you absorb through your skin:

I don't know anyone else who has used this, so can't vouch for its

effectiveness! And when I get my next blood test, I won't know how much of the

improvement, assuming there is one, is due to Spatone and how much to diet and

how much to this stuff. It's easy to use, just rub it in and let it dry, which

it does quite quickly. The form of iron is ferrous ammonia citrate, so it smells

of ammonia. But it absorbs quickly - just rub it on sparingly.

Are you taking the Spatone in fruit juice, by the way, after a meal? I think

that probably helps.

Hi Helen,

Thx for replying, i have gone back on to Spatone and will persevere this time.

I do take it mixed with pure OJ and 1000mg of Vit C. Hoping i can cope with the

stomach cramps this time!
