Far more likely to be the estrogen issue. podcast-host

So how can you raise your ferritin naturally? podcast-host

Well I've talked about red meat. podcast-host

You can have the dark poultry meat, so for example the leg meat in chicken. podcast-host

Um there is a little bit in lentils and beans and tofu and pumpkin seeds, but obviously you'd need to eat quite a lot of that, um and leafy greens if you pair plant based sources with vitamin C. podcast-host

Or vitamin C rich foods like an orange chopped into a salad, or you know, red peppers, things like that, that's going to help improve absorption. podcast-host

Be aware of the things that lower absorption of iron, so things like tea, coffee, calcium supplements actually will interfere with iron absorption, and even large amounts of dairy can reduce iron absorption. podcast-host

So just be careful when you're timing your foods. podcast-host

You know, you can leave an hour podcast-host

Or two, for example, between these foods and an iron-rich meal or a supplement. podcast-host

Ferritin of 15, I think, is going to be difficult to correct quickly through food alone. podcast-host

So what about supplements that you talked about? podcast-host

That's not really a therapeutic dose. podcast-host

So, iron deficiency for anemia is usually recommending things like ferrousulfate, which you said made you feel nauseous, not surprisingly. podcast-host

You could discuss with your pharmacists something like ferrous fumarate or ferrous gluconate. podcast-host

You could do alternate day dosing if that was better. podcast-host

But I think you know you shouldn't really move straight to a high dose without having some. podcast-host

More blood work done because we don't know your hemoglobin, your transferrin saturation, or you know, full medical history. podcast-host

So I think if you want to look at supplements, there are a couple of brands that I particularly like. podcast-host
