Dr.SurgeonPGH said:Vitamin D levels and micronutrients: an often-overlooked connection.
Iron studies on micronutrients — important especially for women:
| Marker | Baseline | Month 6 | After Supplementation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ferritin | 55 | 23 | 45 |
| Iron | 85 | 50 | 93 |
| TIBC | 325 | 395 | 345 |
| Transferrin Sat | 31% | 15% | 28% |
My ferritin cratered at month 6 from reduced dietary intake. Iron bisglycinate 36mg with vitamin C brought it back up. Don't wait for anemia symptoms — test proactively.
