[QUOTE="FDV70, post: 212990, member: 43104"] Hepcidin blocks oral iron absorption at the gut. Unless you suppress hepcidin with vitamins C or D, then the oral iron is absorbed. It goes right to hemoglobin. When hepcidin is high and oral iron is blocked, hepcidin also withholds iron in liver cells (from recycled RBCs) which is raising ferritin by using your own iron from RBCs instead of the oral iron. The 65mg oral iron without vitamins C and D is only for raising hepcidin, and keeping it high for 4 days. Your RBCs are turning over constantly of course. If your RBCs are high, like over 6, ferritin builds pretty fast. If you are a woman and your RBCs are 3.9 for example, ferritin builds slower. [/QUOTE]
