[QUOTE="ajax31, post: 199910, member: 39208"] Iron metabolism is so complicated it's like trying to navigate a mine field. For example, testosterone lowers hepcidin (to increase iron absorption), but it simultaneously and independently stimulates red blood cell formation (erythropoiesis). There are a number of posts on here from men who develop low ferritin (storage form of iron) and high hemoglobin / hematocrit after beginning TRT, which is what you would expect if testosterone is stimulating erythropoiesis ... and their low ferritin begins to rise back to the normal range after discontinuing TRT.
