I donated 3 time since I been on TRT now my ferritin level is 25 and total iron is at 104 what can I take for ferritin level to go up ?
ThanksIron rich meat/ beef liver, vitamin c, lysine, and yellow dock. There’s probably other ways, but those are the main things to do off the top of my head.
If you can’t stomach beef liver, they make a desiccated grassfed beef liver supplement. I take it everyday. Don’t taste them at all when going down.

How long did it take for ur ferritin and iron level to get up
Yea I wasn’t even low untill I starting to check labs last time it was 75 and after I donated it drop to 25A couple year ago when I was donating every 3 months my Ferritin came back as 0. Yes I said ZERO, undetectable levels. My total iron was around 80 so enough blood iron but no stores.
I stopped donating for 6 months and got it up to 25. 4 weeks ago was tested and I was 14. And I just donated blood again so who knows where Im at right now. Its a problem.
