Hey. I am having a hard time understanding labs concerning iron/saturation/ferritin etc. and when is it recommended to supplement iron, even though Peat was against it. This is for someone who is looking to get pregnant but wants to sort this out before trying.
hemoglobin 12.5 (12-16) *low
iron 99.8 (33-193)
transferrin 228 (265-497) *low
saturation percentage. 43.77 (20-55)
ferritin 19.6 (13-150) *low
Is the important thing here to raise ferritin or transferrin? How? Or take iron sups?
Thank you to anyone who understands this!
