[QUOTE="TorontoTRT, post: 162835, member: 38196"] Yes testosterone will lower feritin due to its inhibition of hepcidin. It also uses up lots of your ferritin stores to produced rapid increase in red blood cells. So while you might have low feritin it does not mean you're iron deficient as hemoglobin and red blood cells are way up high. For some, including me, phlebotomy is the only way to drive hematocrit and hemoglobin down. It's a hit and miss how low a donation will bring you. In 3 donations my feritin went from 29 - 19, 22 - 20, and 39 - 22. [/QUOTE]
