THANK YOU for posting this! - was looking aaaaaall over the internet for question/answer this earlier this year and looks like this was posted just after my massive search!
This is absolute nonsense. She has a serious condition (low Ferritin) and you should have asked about key symptoms of Iron deficiency AND referred her to her GP. Please look up the Iron clinic in London, they have great resources or find the anemia community online for resources. Your advice here is alarmingly vague and outright wrong!
i have a question my Ferririn level is 44 but my other iron labs are normal ive been researching and have found that for men and women the optimal ferritin level should begin at 70 Is this accurate and if so in my case should i take an iron supplement since my Ferritin was 44? Thanks
Help my ferritin is a 10.hemoglobin 13.2 hematocrit 38.4 iron total 144 H .It just amazes me because my westernized doctor has suggested I have colonoscopy to r/o out gi bleeding.in the meantime I have had to supplement w chelates liquid iron from whole foods.My doctor has not suggested taking supplements yet.I have not had red meat in the past 1 year. My diet consist of salads chicken fish .but I do not eat meat q day.Im 50 yrs old who still is still menstrating I have no medical condition.body type is skinny.Any suggestions
Iron defiency is very common in menstruating women. Low ferritin shows that your stores are depleted. I would take an Iron supplement and take it with a vitamin C source (vitamin c pill, orange juice, etc) Colonoscopies are recommended in the 50s and beyond but as you still menstruate I would look at that as a source of the iron depletion since you are losing blood, esp. if the periods are heavy. I am not a doctor, but a patient with a similar issue to you. Hope it helps
I was diagnosed with anemia and I've been taking 200mg of blood builder since February but I still don't feel like myself, should I increase my dosage?
I do not know anything about your case nor even what is in this product and cannot answer that question. Generally a temporary carnivore diet based on red meat, liver, and clams would be the fastest way to correct iron deficiency anemia with food.
@@chrismasterjohn yes I've tried that before but I think my iron was too low for that. I might need iron infusions. I just wanted hear a different perspective so I compare it with my other notes.
My Ferritin Level is 16, But my iron levels are normal, bhai i have unbelievable amount of fatigue and weakness im mostly absent minded and my body aches, is this all because of low ferritin? Doctor please reply on this im just 20 years old
I had a ferritin of 12 and same symptoms as you. When I started supplementing iron after a few weeks I was feeling better ..not 100% but a big difference. Might be worth a try
Hi how its going now? In my opinion your Iron is way to low and you have to consider to take a iron injection. How are you feeling and did you supplement Iron?
I’ve always had varying low ferritin,… my last result was 24 At 59, I’ve continuously been symptomatic, while all being chalked uP to Fibromyalgia, as I entered my 3rd Chapter of life !! For the first time, my Doctor’s nurse suggested I supplement with a low dose of 25mg, and just after one week, I’m already improving,… my breathing is noticeably better, having deeper sleep and I just feel more alert than I ever have 🤗 >>>Better late than never, but I am a little more than pissed that not ONE professional ever suggested supplementing with iron, if only to see if it could make a difference ?? As I’m typing this, I’m realizing I haven’t had much of, if any daily anxiety/irritability,… this small inexpensive pill seems to have been the long lost piece of the puzzle I’ve been searching for several decades… lOve & Healing to all who read this 🫶🏼
Not sure why this supposed doctor is telling "probably not" ... yes your low levels of ferritin at 16 is way low even if it was at 30 or 40 or 50 or 60. Ferritin should be closer to 100!!! So you WILL absolutely feel what it is you're feeling. You can experience this as well if your hemoglobin is too low and of course if your iron is low. Take a vitamin A supplement with your iron and vitamin c at least 500mg's this will greatly help you. Also, you should never ever take zinc with copper they'll cancel each other out. you should take them at least 3 hours apart. Hope this helps! Just a concerned citizen.

What about ferritin is normal but tibc and iron saturation is not normal?
i have a question my Ferririn level is 44 but my other iron labs are normal
ive been researching and have found that for men and women the optimal ferritin level should begin at 70
Is this accurate and if so in my case should i take an iron supplement since my Ferritin was 44?
Thanks
What if Ferritin is Low and RBC is High, hematocrit high and hemoglobin high normal?
I have exact same, did you ever find out
It means that your iron reserves are low but the more low ferritin goes on it will lower RBC. So get the daily amount of iron
Did you figure this out? Are you on testosterone therapy?
@@lionhearttt3540 Yes I did and the answer is below.
@@nicoc7024 Yes got off TRT cold turkey.
I was hyper responding to the erythropoietin hormone.
Thanks for this video
Must understand copper if having iron issues.
Does ferritin go up before hemoglobin?
Can I take lactoferrin supplements to boost my ferritin level?
Probably not, it does the opposite in anemia of chronic disease.
Okay then what would be a better medicine for increase ferritin quickly??? My hemoglobin is normal but ferritin is low @@chrismasterjohn
My 3years son ferritin was 2.8 and became 4 after one month with lactoferrin an iron supplements his haemoglobin levels normal what should i do next
there you have it. thank you so much 📿
Copper maybe?

You need red meat. We have eaten it daily for hundreds of thousands of years. It does not cause cancer or heart disease those are debunked myths.
I was diagnosed with anemia and I've been taking 200mg of blood builder since February but I still don't feel like myself, should I increase my dosage?

Are you using Mega Foods blood builder? It raised my Ferritin levels over 20 points in just under a month taking a therapeutic dose.
@@htownqueen663 yes that's what I'm taking
85 iron 36 ferritin omeprazole every day
Acidity is necessary for absorption of nutrients..
@@h.neubert8770 Exactly. The PPI will prevent her from absorbing iron.
Can iron deficiency anemia cause tingling sensations?
Yes
Sorry but you aren’t really explaining well
My ferritin 696 I and my iron high 696

Probably not but you could get your iron up and see.
I had a ferritin of 12 and same symptoms as you. When I started supplementing iron after a few weeks I was feeling better ..not 100% but a big difference. Might be worth a try
