Thanks mate. I was just about to read it today actually but have spent time reading the other one. Will dive into this one after work later in the evening. To be honest this Iron disorder topic is crazy as everyone has a different philosophy. Morley talks about iron<>copper dynamics, more like...- Belekas

4g Magnesium Citrate is around 700mg elemental magnesium so not a massive dose but still can be an issue for me as I have spent a long time without being able to tolerate any Mag at all. For me lowering cortisol is a good thing because I suspect I have adrenal insuficiency and my morning and...- Belekas

Around a good week +-. I'll take them only before sleep for now and see what happens. Thanks for pointing it out. Will do 2g of Taurine and 2g of Magnesium Citrate before bed tonight. If nothing improves will deduct more and then cut all out and start from scratch again. My girl takes 4 gram...- Belekas

Warning for Men on TRT: Low Ferritin is Bad
Agreed. My ferritin on TRT last year was 124 but I didn't pay attention, yet everyone on TRT/androgens should pay attention if its > 120. Now I'm 6 months off TRT and my ferritin came back 390 and transferrin saturation at 52% so both above range. Glad I came off as was having other symptoms...- Belekas

Been reading reddit anecdotes about HH and this post says very similar to what I'm going through atm minus the CRP as it wasn't done. So basically high ferritin, high transferrin saturantion and low transferrin with normal CRP requires genetic test for HH. Even without testing CRP I need to do...- Belekas

Warning for Men on TRT: Low Ferritin is Bad
Agree on all points here and actually I'm surprised everyone is just talking about it being too low. Currently reading the RCP and got the CU-re book, so lots of reading ahead. Ferritin is an acute-phase reactant that can be elevated from a lot of things. I've chatted with Fred Vorck a bit in...- Belekas

Hey Jim much appreciated for the complete, detailed post. Thank you. Glad that it recovered and you felt better after donating. I never tested ceruloplasmin but now that I have been rading RCP for quite some time that is getting more interest as well. I will read the link you provided in...- Belekas

Lipids / Iron / Ferritin Labs
Why was your Ferritin at 400 and what was your TS% at the time being if I may ask? Interested if you found the root cause and how did you lower it. My Ferritin is 390 and also TS% is 52. This is concerning and now being looked into. Should have known better that Ferritin > 120 while on TRT is a...- Belekas

I will make a separate post about being on and off TRT when I have time. The issue with Iron is far more complex then just crashing Ferritin which is just one piece of the puzzle. Transferrin Saturation% is far more important marker and I doub't you can crash it with IP6 to be fair. No fear, but...- Belekas

Been learning about Iron and its disorders since getting back my GPs blood results and seeing Ferritin 400 and TS at 52%. To behonest I think everyone should look a lot more into this issue and check if they don't have any disorders and basically that is how we get seriously sick. Main thing is...- Belekas

The issue is I can't donate blood, ever. My blood is not acceptable, sadly. That is why I must wait for GP appointment which will only be next month or book a new appoitment with another random one and ask for phlebotomy given these numbers. Maybe this is my fucking issue I'e been battling for...- Belekas

Just today got blood test results GP prescribed which was done about 2 weeks ago. Everything looking ok except the high ass Ferritin of 390 (30-300) and Transferrin Saturation of 53% (20-50). Never ever in my life I had such numbers. In 2023 while on TRT it was 124 fwiw. It was even lower...- Belekas
