[QUOTE="MIP1950, post: 225466, member: 42988"] You've posted extensively regarding your issues with iron & ferritin. My last ferritin check, a year ago, was 63. In the context of the iron panel, my urologist said it was fine but low energy, brain fog and poor sleep(though improving) are constants for me and my response to testosterone has been underwhelming. Now doing 16 mg, daily IM, Test E. Not a meat eater(my wife follows a vegetarian diet and eating meat becomes a flash point). I keep pondering, long before I met her, my father and I ate meat,including liver, and chicken, as well as fish. At 75, after arthritis curtailed his jogging, he began to swim, working up to a mile a day. I jogged. I slept well and had great sexual function. That was over 30 years ago. I transitioned to being a vegetarian when I met my wife, then abandoned it about 10 years ago, eating fish, shrimp, eggs and some dairy. I know that ascorbic acid improves iron absorption from food and I recall that lysine helps, too. I'm 72 and wary of taking supplemental iron. I take vitamin C, daily; once in the morning. Maybe twice or 3X daily with meals might improve ferritin and response to testosterone? [/QUOTE]
