Re: Starting 2nd week of T3 -- For Val

>1. How much iron do you suggest I take?

150mg to 200 mg of elemental iron a day split into 2 doses

>2. Since my ferritin is low, should I stick to the guidelines my Naturopath

gave me (stick to 10mcg/day indefinitely). In other words, I'm wondering if

because my ferritin is low, if staying at 10mcg/day is the best thing for me to

do (anything more than that would be going too fast)?

That small a dose is in danger of suppressing your own production a

bit while not replacing what it suppresses and could leave you feeling

worse.

You would be better off ramping up weekly while trying to get the iron

up at the same time.

There are suggested dosing schedules on the web site, you may need to

go a bit slower than that if you are waiting for iron to increase
