Guest guest Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Zinc and Selenium compete with iron - I've found taking both of those can drop iron levels. It's best to separate Zinc and Iron by a couple of hours. I add a digestive enzyme to help the gut and increase absorption. My daughter recently had the IV iron and her ferritin went from 24 before to 161 3 weeks after the IV! She had tummyaches on the day after the IV and it has taken a couple of weeks for her to notice energy levels improving, which was difficult because she was hoping for immediate improvement. I read that you need Vitamin A to help get the iron into the bone marrow and into healthy red blood cells. Low Vitamin A is pretty common with hypothryoid because conversion from betacarotene to Vitamin A is slowed. Gail > > Trying to get Ferritin correct before starting T3.
