Our objective is merely to "trick" or trigger the body's natural iron overdose mechanism into releasing a massive amount of hepcidin for 7 days. In order to accomplish this, we overwhelm the intestines with iron. Unfortunately, we need it all to sit there, triggering hepcidin release, not...

The worst case I have seen is someone dropping their ferritin within 2 weeks. The best was a few months. Almost nobody does second follow up testing after their protocol run. They usually do a ferritin test a few days afterward and then let it ride. I want to say when I did it a few times when I...

Remember that because heme iron transport largely bypasses hepcidin, it will not be put into ferritin readily. Even women on no hormones who take heme iron end up with hemoglobins of 15 or 16 while ferritin languishes.

He states: "It is very well established why this is a bad idea. Anemia of inflammation, also called anemia of chronic disease, results from ferritin trapping iron and making it unusable." As stated, this is well beyond profoundly misleading. This is raising ferritin with the inflammation...

The explanation is one I always left off of my page actually because I just wanted how to raise without anyone getting bogged down. Like for example, restless leg is a known issue with low ferritin. But it can come from other things too. So my page was always "here's a how-to if you wanna." It...

BTW thanks for the mention! Here's the link for others. We specialize in TRT and all things blood. We have a lot of info on disorders most notably the two major forms of hemochromatosis as well, C282Y and H63D. https://www.facebook.com/groups/591473358577668

Your HCT should not have gone up more than one point on my protocol in a typical 7 day run. How much did yours go up?

Not sure why nobody directed you to what people normally use. https://vorck.com/erythrocytosis.html#ferritin

Considering it's been in use for several years in various FB groups and some reps at Matrix and Defy use it, I would consider my existing protocol to be definitive actually. Did you not get good results on it? Edit to add in case someone still hasn't heard of it...

I see the research Pubmed study showed good results with 5 cialis / 50 viagra. Anyone every try 5/100? FWIW, neither one ever lowers my BP. (Not that I would expect them to, they lower pulmonary BP.)

There is a high probability that your body does not make hepcidin and you are a carrier, or have, C282Y hemochromatosis. For a basic explanation as to how you would have low ferritin but have or carry hereditary hemochromatosis, see this post on FB...

Once you do a deep dive you discover that it's pretty much EVERYTHING. I summarize findings with studies on my TRT Ferritin Protocol Page. Sorry if you already know this, I have so many guys doing this I lose track of whom I've spoken to. https://vorck.com/erythrocytosis.html

Thanks for this -- I just added it to the protocol. Days 1 and 2 are especially critical to have an empty stomach. The rest of the time we're just keeping hepcidin up so it's less criticial I would guess. Random thought: so many of us take Semaglutide and that keeps food in the stomach longer...

If you're on Test, you can't make ferritin because TRT = increased EPO = increased erythroferrone = lowered hepcidin = ferroportin lets iron release from hepatocytes = ferritin doesn't rise. However there's a lot more going on here... In your case, if you are anemic on Test (like for real, an...

Forum won't let me make edits. This process evolves; see my site for the latest changes.

I'm curious as to why you're under 14 and on TRT. Sorry it took me so long to see. You would need a higher hemoglobin, which you probably guessed. Raising it would take: 50,000 units vitamin D, 1 gram vitamin C, and one 70mg iron dose all together at 9am every day for between 1 to 2 weeks. This...

Yes, you can get labs right away.

I am really not sure how to explain this meager increase unless your RBCs were in the 4.x range. The protocol leverages our erythrocytosis on TRT so guys with high RBC tend to get good results. I really am not sure whats going on unless you have vitamins or supplements that are killing hepcidin...

You can't. This is a REALLY long explanation, but high ferritin in cases of hemochromatosis happens after years, and I mean decades, of high serum iron because ferroportin lets all of it slip out of cells. Eventually there is so much iron that it has nowhere to go and starts piling up like a...

"My point was that 7 points difference in ferritin labs is not terribly significant" It's plausible it's testing itself I suppose. Hypoxia will drive up Hypoxia-inducible Factor 1-alpha which is inflammatory, but it's not the prime mover of hepcidin. But it can contribute. Hypoxia's biggest...

Ferritin raised from inflammation is molecularly identical to ferritin raised from food or iron pills. So that number is always an actual number. Remember that serum ferritin is what is measured, and serum ferritin is efflux from ferritin in hepatocytes. There are two paths to arrive at making...

Not sure what you mean. Not as a serum measure of ferritin. When someone does my protocol, hepcidin raises to the point where iron is sequestered, so the ferritin rise comes from recycled RBC iron. Oral iron supps are to raise hepcidin in my protocol, and are not intended to be absorbed, except...

Did your hemoglobin move up at all in that time? I've never seen a drop.

? Crashing ferritin is a thing of the past. https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/raising-ferritin-fast-a-how-to-not-a-question.24186/

How did you fare after you ran my ferritin restoration protocol?

I'm not looking where to buy Cialis and Viagra. I have them both. Are you confirming that using them WITH bimix is fine?

Background: I don't know if knowing this helps, but my ED is the type where I get an erection, but I don't always stay hard. It's somewhat random. I have been prescribed bimix. My concentration is 15mg / .5mg, which is of course half the normal concentration of 30mg / 1mg. My doc says this is...

Might be of help on ferritin. For the ED, I can't say. https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/raising-ferritin-fast-a-how-to-not-a-question.24186/
