Congratulations

As you go up on the T3 it will become easier to hang onto the Ferritin

I stopped all iron supplements end of January. I have not been taking any iron

supplements since Feb. 1st. Seems the iron in the red meat works better for me

than iron supplements. I was able to increase my t3 from 30 mcg to 80 mcg. since

beginning/mid February.

FEb. 4th my ferritin was 14 and March 24th it was 42; yippee hurray!!!

CONGRATULATIONS, that is so exciting.

i'm working on ferritin, etc etc, and i'm just curious what exactly you were

eating... what type meat, how much, and how often.

also, do you know if eggs are iron-rich, and if spinach is helpful? i love eggs

and a big leafy salad, but wonder if it helps my iron at all. so cool about

your success:)) keep fighting the good fight;)

I have read that the heme form of iron, as in red meat, is absorbed more

readily. So taking heme iron, like in liver tabs, with your iron supplements

makes them absorb better. In your case you didn't need them. I am a vegetarian

so I used the liver tabs (I am not an insanely strict vegetarian) with chelated

iron and the ferrous sulfate.

Eggs did not do the trick for me. I consume lots of eggs and ferritin has

remained low.

I have been eating red meat nearly every day either in the form of beef or veal

(not pre-cooked or smoked or from a take-out place; I buy fresh meat and cook it

til it's soft). I'd estimate I eat roughly half a pound to a pound per day. And

vitamin C along with it, to help wth the iron absorption.

Best of luck to you. MOst people here seem to be able to increase ferritin with

iron supplements.

As an aside, my iron saturation was at the top of the range when I last checked

in Feb. And yet the ferritin was a pithy 14.
