Lethal Lee - question about iron numbers

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I saw your thread with and you talked about when iron numbers (tibc,

transferrin saturation, etc.) are too low that someone can't absorb enough iron.

I am on a campaign to increase ferritin numbers and taking 300mg/day of iron for

this past month. My numbers in april were:

iron: 73 (40-175)

tibc: 325 (250-450)

transferrin saturation 22 (15-50%)

ferritin 32 10-232

This was the last test that had all numbers done at once. Newer tests only had

ferritin which is still low but slowly increasing.

I feel better for increasing the iron and starting the magnesium oil, but when I

read the post about not being able to absorb the iron I wondered what you meant

and how I would increase my levels if absorption levels are low. Does this mean

all the extra iron I am taking is floating around and not getting absorbed?

Thanks so much,
