Hello.
Is there a way to increase the circulation iron (serum iron) without increase the storage form (ferritin)?
I am asking this because my ferritin is high (190 ng/ml, reference 22- 322) but my serum iron is low (60 ug/dl), so this can be the reason why I cannot tolerate T3 or increase my Syntroid from 75 to 88 mcg.
My TIBC is low ( 290 ug/dl, reference 250 – 450) and my saturation is 21%.
If I increase my meat consumption my serum iron will increase, but my ferritin will to?
If I take calcium whit the meat it will block the iron absorption?
Maybe IP6 will get iron from the storage form to the circulation form, is this possible?
I am addressing possible ways that interferes whit thyroid utilization. Cortisol I think is already good, since my 8:00 am serum cortisol is at top of the reference range, and I had tested taking adrenal cortex supplements and don’t feel any improvement. So the question is now Iron.
