[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 212080, member: 3"] [USER=43104]@FDV70[/USER] Very interesting approach. Thanks for sharing it. "60/60/60: The Vorck Ferritin Protocol Good for a ~20 point boost in ferritin: Take iron 60mg at 9am, 60mg again at 3pm, 60mg a third time at 8pm, three days. Good for a ~30 point boost in ferritin: Take iron 60mg at 9am, 60mg again at 3pm, 60mg a third time at 8pm, four days. (Four days has proven to be the most popular option). Etc. The study team has come to a consensus that after two days, you're going to see 8 to 10 points of ferritin per day with minimal rise in hemoglobin. If you want to be a guinea pig, try 5 days and let me know. No one has gone beyond that as far as I know. My hematologist wanted me to do this for a week. Since we are increasing ferritin and iron between donations, we can't forget the whole point we do this protocol -- avoiding elevated hemoglogin.
