[QUOTE="HealthMan, post: 96491, member: 13512"] I understand it is your priority to bring your ferritin up. But just speak to your doctor and do some research before supplementing with iron. Otherwise you might end up in a endless loop where your ferritin will always be low and your HCT will always be high. For me supplementing with 100% RDA iron (through iron bisglycinate) + 1g of Vitamin for 1-2 months after donating was able to bring back my ferriting back to normal after donating blood. Everyone will respond differently so the optimal dosage for you might be completely different (by optimal I mean a dosage that will balance a increase in ferritin while minimizing the increase in HCT). Just keep in mind that loading with iron might just put you in an endless frustration cycle. One thing i will ask my doctor in my next consultation is how high can my HCT go (with no symptoms: normal blood pressure etc). Lets say that if a HCT of 52 in the absence of symptoms is ok, then I could donate less often and avoid tanking my ferritin. [/QUOTE]
