Re: New Labs / Val or margary?

June 18, 2010

Hi is: yes, your % saturation is low, here's another post from Val saying

it should be 35-45.

I do not think it is " pitifully low " but you will utilize thyroid better if you

raise it.

I don't understand why your previous labs were so different, or why your sister

also got strange lab results. My first guess is laboratory error.

Val said she does not think lactoferrin is helpful for raising iron, here's her

post:

(the rest of that thread is interesting, too, about lactoferrin, iron

absorption, etc.)

However, Rainbow posted her " raising iron " success story, and it included

lactoferrin, here is a link:

Although she was taking many different things, so it's difficult to tell

specifically what was helpful.

The best absorption-enhancer I know of is taking vitamin C at the same time as

the iron.

I don't know if low TIBC affects how you much iron you should supplement with.

far as what their iron labs looked like... but i just want to ask if my serum

iron and %saturation are pitifully low or just on the low side?? and since my

binding capacity is on the low side, val, how much of an iron dose do you

recommend i start back on?

liver... i think i am going to try a combination of the three, any specific

recommendations from anyone?
