[QUOTE="John O'Connor, post: 201544, member: 13064"] Yes, it takes months to get ferritin levels up. Be sure to check your vitamin D levels too. Most people in the population have low vitamin D as it's mostly absorbed via the sun, which most of us don't get much of. Vitamin D is essential for the absorption of all minerals, including iron. Note it can also take months to improve Vitamin D levels if they are very low. Don't guess at this. Get your vitamin D levels checked. One more tip when supplementing with iron. It can make you constipated. Take 500mg magnesium daily while taking an iron supplement and it should help. And if you are donating blood to control hematocrit levels, you will need to stop donations at least until you get your iron levels back to normal. If hematocrit is too high during this time then cut your TRT dosing down. [/QUOTE]
