[QUOTE="Weasel, post: 218333, member: 12911"] I used [USER=43104]@FDV70[/USER] protocol for 7 days. I do NOT donate blood as I do not have elevated Hgb or Hct. I do always have low ferritin though but I was not looking to elevate Hgb or Hct. I ran labs this morning after 7 full days of 84mg ferrous bisglycinate 3x day at the designated times in his protocol. I did not draw labs directly before starting his protocol but they have been very consistent since 2016 so I have confidence these labs accurately reflect pre-protocol. My labs from 12/21 showed the following (prior to protocol): Hgb: 15.2 Hct: 46.7 TIBC: 365 Iron: 52 Ferritin: 29.8 The next labs are after 7 days of his protocol(drawn morning of day 8): One thing that stands out(besides the amazing increase in ferritin) is my Hgb to Hct ratio. Hgb is actually about 1.5 low when compared to my Hct. Should I continue taking Iron but add Vit C to try and increase Hgb to match Hct? Thoughts?
