What a great link! I have low ferritin (11 on most recent lab work and the range is 20-320). I definitely did not know that eggs inhibit the absorption of iron! I eat eggs every day.


ipi, please keep us updated on any advice Dr. Saya gives you about your ferritin. I supplement a few times a week, but don't want to overdo it b/c of the risk of iron toxicity and of the more mundane side effect of constipation.


Anyone else with advice for raising ferritin? It looks like vitamin C is important for iron absorption, so I might start supplementing with that.
