I understand that aspirin chelates iron but I am wondering if there is a way to take it without lowering my iron anymore. Maybe take chlorella or some other high iron supplement. I am wary of the inorganic iron supplements. Ive seen what happens when a magnet is passed over crushed Wheaties.
Here are my numbers in case anyone can make sense of them. I am mainly concerned about my low ferritin of 32.5 and high TIBC of 450
IRON SER: 94 (40 - 190 mcg/dL)
TOTAL IRON BIND CAP: 450 (250 - 400 mcg/dl)
TRANSFERRIN SATURATION: 23.20% (15.0 - 50.0 %)
TRANSFERRIN: 289 (180 - 329 mg/dl)
FERRITIN: 32.5 (20.0 - 380.0 ng/mL)
WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT: 5.8 L (4.5 - 11.0 x10 3 /uL)
RED BLOOD CELL COUNT: 4.29 L (4.60 - 6.20 x10 6 /uL)
HGB: 14.8 L (14.0 - 18.0 g/dl)
HEMATOCRIT: 44.80% (39.0 - 51.0 %)
MEAN CORPUSCULAR VOLUME: 90.9 fL (80.0 - 100.0 fL)
MEAN CORPUSCULAR HGB: 30 (27.0 - 31.0 pg)
MEAN CORPUS.HGB CONC: 33 (32.0 - 37.0 g/dL)
