My Doc said the iron was a bit low, but then he said something else (iron reserves?) was fine; so, he said no need to address it at this time.

iron looks good..
I do not see CBC : RBC, WBC, Hct, MCV, etc...
B12 is on a low side... I like mine 800+...
Vit D - is also normal - but on low side... 30- 100... you may ant to supplement a bit more,, but not too much.
Protein is good..

WBC - white blood count
| Range Low | Range High |
| White blood cell (WBC) | 4.5 | 11 |
| Red blood cell (RBC) | 4.5 | 5,1 |
| Hemoglobin (HGB) | 12.3 | 15.3 |
| Hematocrit (HCT) | 36 | 45 |
| MCV | 80 | 96 |
| MCH | 28 | 33 |
| MCHC | 33 | 36 |
| RDW | 11.5 | 14.5 |
| Platelet count (PLT) | 150 | 400 |
You show only HGB and HCT. Sometimes the other numbers can indicate problems.
i.e. my RBC was 3.89 (too low) with MCV 108.. (large r blood cells- too large) - that indicated possible problem in creating good quality red blood cells. i.e Large MCV - may indicate low B12 (even in blood numbers are Ok - body can't utalize that) low copper, and some other issues. like low folic acid.
low RBC and low MCV may indicate anemia due to low iron and copper... and so on...

And B1 is water soluble... so if you get too much - your body shall be able to get rid of that.

Your vitamin D is only half what it should be, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. I would take more D3.
Your B12 is low. Under 550, people tend to get symptoms like depression, fatigue and short term memory problems. Ideally, it would be around 1000.

If you use carbonyl iron, it's all elemental iron, no iron salts, and usually don't cause those problems.
