Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 ALL forms of iron have elemental iron, it is the amount of iron that you absorb from the particular brand you buy. Read the labels. I can;t help with this as I have not ever needed iron. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Thank you Val! Now i am on 10 mg of HC in am, 5 mg at noon, 5mg at 4 pm and 5mg at night and 1/2 grain of Thyroid. My tems are like 98.1 during a day for 2 days so far, but at night and morning before i got up it droped to 97.6 . Should i increase night dose first to 7.5 mg now?(my night cortisole crashed at night as it showed on the test) and after 3 days increase morning dose 12.5 mg? You know, i noticed that my temps are always better when is warm weather( i live in san diego) and always low when is getting cold.Right now is very nice outside,so my tems are ok during a day. And another question :For how long i should be on 200mg of Iron till i get retested again? Thank you very much for your help. I have Iron suppl, that my ND gave me.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 The easiest absorbed is a ferrochel type, chelated iron. The one I get when I dont have a prescritpion (insurance oays for the rx) is from here. http://www.bio-tech-pharm.com/ it is 150 mg elemental (that means you actually get 150 mgs of iron) per capsule and it was about 12.00 for a bottle of 100 last time I checked. I buy my dry vitamin D from them, they are top quality. At 150 mg per cap, you would only need like one a day. maybe 3 times a week, take two if you are really low in ferritin. Be sure you are taking a bcomples and vitamin c along with this, Both help iron absorb, and vit c will keep you from getting constipated. The ferrochel type usually will not irritate your tummy. I would recheck ferritin in 2-3 months. Needs to be at least 70 and it takes a few weeks to build red blood cells from the iron you are taking.
