Guest guest Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 What is usually recommended here to raise ferritin is 150-200 mg elemental iron per day, divided into at least two doses. Taking Vitamin C at the same time as the iron aids iron absorption. Many here have good results with the Bluebonnet iron, here a link: http://www.iherb.com/Bluebonnet-Nutrition-Chelated-Iron-90-Vcaps/11571?at=0 > > > > > > Just got my labs from June 1 back.
