Thank you so so much. This helped me a ton. I have been low in iron ALL my life and now when I crossed 40 I became very anemic and was so helpless.

This is one of the most helpful videos I have seen on this topic just subbed

My ferritin level was at a 6!!! Iron was 32, oxygen saturation % was 8, hemoglobin 11.4, & yet my doctor said that i’m “mildly” anemic. I was told to continue taking my ferrous iron pills. I am gonna switch doctors, as this doctor is clearly clueless. I’m nearly 3 months postpartum (stillbirth), & I’m constantly fatigued & can’t do much. I feel so weak & unwell, tachycardia, depressed, insomnia, restless legs, etc. Funny thing is that I joined that iron protocol group a few days ago in FB & yesterday my husband bought that iron pill you mentioned. I pray that it helps me bc these doctors are no help SMH

Thank you so much for the great information!

I was excited to see your video and the fact that you're getting the information about ferritin out there. I just recently found The Iron Protocol group, I've been on the protocol for a week, and it's been a lifesaver and saved me the headache of having to do all the research from scratch myself. I have high hemoglobin and was told to regularly donate blood to get my hemoglobin down. Not once did anyone mention my ferritin, which is extremely low. I should've been taking iron all along instead of donating blood. I can't wait to start seeing results and feel like a functioning human being again.

I don't know your total health history and can't really give medical advice. But I can say that levels that low very often do cause symptoms and that heme iron supplements are a more effective way raise your iron and ferritin levels. I'm not sure what reason your doctor would have for not wanting to raise your iron levels. You may need to get a new doctor or at least a second opinion. You can try to eat more red meat and eat liver or take liver supplements to help increase levels at well.

I always feel great after supplementing then my heavy period comes and boom feel like death. My ferritin was 30 then it got to 40 and stayed there for a year(current).....which is unusual. I was definitely not taking enough. I am highly symptomatic 30 and under.

what do you think of the protocols dosing recommendations? on there it was your weight in kilograms multiplied by either 1.5 or 2 depending if its heme or non-heme. that'd put my lowest dose starting around 106mg for heme or 142 for non-heme. is that okay?

I've heard that you actually want low ferritin, but the iron needs to get into your cells for ferritin to drop. A lot of people have low ferritin from not enough iron, many have enough iron and have high ferritin, but ideally your body doesn't let any iron sit around as ferritin, although it's better to get enough iron and keep some ferritin around.

Hi doc, can ferrous sulfate help?

@StronglifePhysiotherapy

Жыл бұрын

Great question! Yes, ferrous sulfate *CAN* help but it often doesn't. Here's why: it is a form of iron that is easily blocked. You have to be very intentional trying to raise iron/ferritin with this type of iron supplement. It is not absorbed well or at all when taken with coffee, wheat or other grains, milk or dairy products, beans and many other foods. For this reason it should be taken on an empty stomach 30-60 minutes before a meal or about 2-3 hours after a meal. Taking it with vitamin C will also help absorption. Unfortunately, most doctors don't tell you all this when recommending it. It can also be hard on the digestive system. An easier option is a different kind of iron called heme iron. It's found in red meat and is especially high in organ meats. You can also get it supplement form. My favorite for this is a beef liver supplement (amzn.to/3dxQAf1) because it has the heme iron but also many other vitamins and minerals that work together to boost iron and energy levels. Hope this helps!

My ferreting levels are 22ng/ml idk if that’s considered low, I’m having dizziness and am lightheaded , also having consistent nausea.

The Three Arrows supplement is no longer available- can you suggest another? Also do you have any suggestions for someone whose iron deficiency was caused by gastric surgery? Can we absorb Heme iron in supplement form? Thank you so much

Another great source of heme iron is beef liver. I actually like it better than Three Arrows iron because liver has many vitamins and minerals in addition to the iron. You can just eat beef liver but many prefer a supplement. Here’s the one I recommend: amzn.to/49SSCgY A gastric surgery may lower nutrient absorption. It may be worth while to look into some digestive enzymes to help you break down your food more effectively so your body can absorb more nutrients. Hope this helps!

I like Heme iron supplements for raising iron because non-Heme types are difficult to absorb and are blocked by many common foods and drinks including dairy and coffee.

I've seen hematologist give infusions for low ferritin but they can have very different stances on what they give infusions for. A good heme iron supplement can help. There are two that I like which I'll put links for, one is a more concentrated heme iron and the other is liver, which is nice because it has many other nutrients in addition to the iron. Heme iron is much more easily used by the body to raise your levels. It can make a huge difference. There can be other causes for fatigue but low iron (ferritin) is a really common one. I wish you the best in getting answers and getting your energy back! Heme Iron: amzn.to/3XURBjj Liver: amzn.to/3HoSzNy

Some do actually but not very many. It is one of the recommend treatments for non-anemic iron deficiency.

She started noticing a difference within days. It gives you a boost when you’re really low. After that it’s a slow building process. So glad you’re feeling the difference already!

Is it true that drinking tea with your meal stop iron absorption

@StronglifePhysiotherapy

Жыл бұрын

Yes tea is a VERY strong inhibitor of non-Heme (plant based) iron absorption. But it does not block Heme, or animal, sources of iron. I highly recommend Heme iron sources like meat (especially red meat), liver or liver supplements (amzn.to/3QDPKvE) or a good Heme iron supplement like: amzn.to/3Ckscr8 Plant based iron supplements are usually much less effective and blocked by many different foods. Hope this helps!
