[QUOTE="mcs, post: 243101, member: 12"] Oral supplemental delivery of iron to raise ferritin levels has been a total failure for me. I have tried most every form of iron available in the states and abroad. Too much interference with gut bacteria, I suspect. The ONLY form, I believe, that [I]may[/I] protect against the wrong gut bacteria using it as food is a type of liposomal iron that I was able to get from [URL='https://www.yamamotonutrition.com/eng/ferro-fosfolipidico_pr31317']this[/URL] company, Also, [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6316120/']sucrosomial iron[/URL] may work to prevent this. Anyone with even minor gut issues SHOULD STEER CLEAR FROM ORAL SUPPLEMENTAL IRON. There's too much interaction with potentially wrong type of gut bacteria that can use the iron as a food source and grow out of control, [URL='https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0202460&fbclid=IwAR0yw8tTOre_KpxovFxOSf5Ru10Ilv8K6smRPCkwTnC5oI6tURKDlYBumJI']making the gut issues even worse [/URL]and block absorption, defeating the purpose. This issue does not seem to apply to naturally-occurring iron in heme-rich foods, but eating liver and spleen (higher heme iron than liver) I cannot eat but once in a great while. I suspect that more than half of the people out there have some form of dysbiosis which makes taking oral iron supplementation a challenge. and at worst case, a total detriment. I also looked into transdermal deliveries using electrophoresis patches, but I don't think the[URL='https://www.fe3medical.com/news'] proposed product[/URL] ever got off the ground. I noticed that curcumin is a very potent iron chelator and completely wipes out my iron levels, ferritin, hemoglobin, hematocrit, RBCs, but I need it to reduce inflammation.
