Brief update on labs ~ waiting for a copy
I got the results today:
Hemoglobin 13.8 (range 11.5 - 15.5)
Hematocrit 42.3 (range 34.0 - 45.0)
Vitamin D, 25 OH 98 (range 30 - 100)
B-12 >2000 H (range 250 - 1100) I don't worry here, may drop down a little per day I'm taking 2500
Serum Iron 96 (range 35-145)
Unsaturated IBC 213 (range 155 - 300)
Calculated Total IBC 309 (range 250 - 450)
Iron Sat. 31 (range 20 - 50)
Ferritin 93 (range 10 - 220)
Our numbers before were similar and ferritin and sat is about the same now. I'm going to continue as I am (taking 2-3 Proferrin a day) and Tender Iron (oops when I remember at night). I haven't been real consistant with the Tender doubt it's made much of a difference. The Proferrin is pretty expensive but I'm staying on it if that's what it takes to keep my numbers up.
