Blood donation and lower minerals

[Gianluca]

We know donating blood lowers Ferrtin, has anyone checked on RBC minerals such as Magnesium, Zinc, Copper or Iodine before/after? theoretically giving up some red blood cells should lower these minerals correct?

 

[Nelson Vergel]

Good question. I have found nothing.

I dont know about zinc, or magnesium, but it lowered my copper for sure. I cant donate right now cause of it. It always tanks my iron, found out why it was so hard to get my iron up, was it was lowering my copper as well.

thanks for your feedback, was it a RBC Copper? start eating Grass Fed Beef liver once per week, plenty of Copper and Iron, and in the most bioavailable form

by the way, this is how things with my Thyroid and Adrenal went south, just when I started to donate back in the 2015, I stopped donating during the 2017. Once I included organs meat, eating read meat more frequently and adding Iodine, adrenals and Thyroid improved

I had some concern about Selenium levels in organ meats, and I'm not sure how much is needed and how often (e.g. chicken liver), but I definitely had a lot of improvement in eating one daily. It even brought the colour back to my (previously) white hair, and I've had no recession of my hairline since.

Kidneys are very rich in Selenium, but most the excess vitamins and minerals, to what I personally saw, can be dangerous only when ingested in the form of supplement

I get it at a local butcher or sometime I find it at whole foods

Thanks,

Problem with mountain living... no local butcher, no local grass fed beef growers.
