[QUOTE="andrewBwinter, post: 239642, member: 43256"] I can confirm that I have gone completely down the rabbit hole on this one. During my morning coffee make, I thought, "Hey, I wonder what my ferritin was when I wasn't on TRT?" I have been working to raise it and I believe, in simple terms, I have it. Science! Looking at my labs pre and post I can confirm that my low T related to higher ferritin: Pre TRT 15-Mar-21: TT - 383 Ferritin 126 HGB - 177 Start TRT October 14, 2021 (120mg/wk Test-E) Post - 1-Feb-22 TT - 954 Ferritin 27 HGB - 171 I found this article that supports my coffee theory: [URL unfurl="true"]https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0144238#pone.0144238.ref003[/URL] But this was a study based on young men. However, buried within was a study related to the 50+ ("elderly") cohort from Bachman et. al. : [URL unfurl="true"]https://academic.oup.com/biomedgerontology/article/69/6/725/527925?login=false[/URL] While there probably isn't anything new here to most of the members, it did answer some questions I had about trying to raise ferritin levels. I also have a better understanding of WHY ferritin levels are reduced. The short answer: To wit - TRT increases red blood cells, red blood cells scavange for iron to transport, ferritin stores iron for those red blood cells, the well (ferritin) runs dry as all of those RBCs take the stored iron. Now, if we can just determine how Pete Davidson scores the lovely ladies, all will make sense. --A [/QUOTE]
