What to take for low Ferritin??

[Guest guest]

Hi Val,

Do you consider 57 for Ferritin low and in need of taking an iron supplement?

If so, what name brand Ferritin do you recommend for someone who has extremely

CHRONIC (10+ yrs) constipation?

Thank you!!

Yes that is low. You need it closer to 90.

The Blue Bonnet seems to have a good reputation. Take vitamin C at the

same time as the iron, it helps to absorb it.

Getting enough thyroid into you will help the constipation, that's a

hypo symptom.

I can normally tell whether my dose is right by that one alone.

Magnesium also works well to relieve constipation. I've taken 1300 mg daily since the beginning of my treatment based on my doc's recommendations. Take it right before bed,

It also will help your muscles relax so you can sleep better.

,

What kind of magnesium do you take. Do you any side effects; bloating, etc.? I wasn't able to tolerate a brand recommended by my doctor. I am currently taking a liquid mixed with calcium. I don't like that they are combined, but like the liquids best.

Thanks,

Rhonda
