Iron supplementing question

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

AT my last blood test my ferrtin was at 60 (getting better . I have been

supplementing with a prescription iron called pruvate. Has worked pretty well

for me. Its 125mg of elemental iron with some vitc and b12 in it.

Anyway I take it at night so its away from everything. But by mid day I

feellike I may have burned through all of it cuz I get those hypo feelings and

feel like maybe I should add some more.

When you do guys take your iron? I know you take it 4 hours apart from thyroid

although my doc said 2 hours.

Would I be ok if I added say 25 more mg to see if it helps?

And I also feel like I am low days 18 and up in my cycle and wonder if I may

need more as I approcah my period.

Appreciate the thoughts.

This sounds more like thyroid/HC than Iron, iron is pretty slow

changing in the body

1 after thyroid or 4 before thyroid is best,

T3 goes into the body quickly and iron slowly

Val suggests 150 of elemental iron as a dose anyway so give it a try

What if you don't have 4 hours away from T3?! I dose 4x.day and I need to

take iron 2x/day as my ferritin is plummeting. I thought if we take T3

sublingually, then we don't have to worry about interactions. Is this so?

Sublingual works well, the Grossman dissolves easily and quickly like

that
