Just ordered Jarrow IP6 so should be here this week and will start taking it. Also won't do my own blood test I have here on the table now and will give it some time and then do it to see if its working, together with diet manipulation.
I had private blood let on the 18th last month and did this iron test end of month and just got results a day or two ago. So 500ml blood taken out dropped my ferritin from sub 400 to 255. Serun Iron and TS% went even higher. Not happy with the results. GP appoitment on the 12th and then another iron blood test on the 13th, just not sure if I need that again after this one.
So after 500ml VS last month on the 18th my Iron numbers went down nicely as I had a blood test done on the 13th this month. Huge drop in Ferritin from sub 400 to 170ish which we guessing attributes to inflamation I was having back then from being sick with flu/covid like shit. Small drops of 20-30 would be more iron depletion then inflamation. Will see now what genetic mutations I have once the results come back in. Will run them through checkiron.com algo (as talked with the man who built it) and it checks for 8+ variants of HH yet NHS checks only for 2 iirc. Attaching screenshots of blood tests for anyone interested. Also my blood pressure has reverted back to the one I had before getting sick while being still on TRT. Now been 6months or so off. No magnesiun, no potassium no vitamin supplemenets, just food and trying to get healthier each and every day. Gotta stay careful with supps as I had high iron and not sure if any other mutations.

Understanding Your Hormones
Estradiol (E2)
A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido.
Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.
DHT
Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth,
prostate health, and masculinization effects.
Free Testosterone
The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins.
Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
