Thanks for coming by. Smart ...Hi Niki -- welcome! Thanks for coming by. Smart of you to take an iron supplement, especially if you're below "low normal" even. It's hard to get enough iron from food...unless it's juicy red beef (not my favorite anymore.) I'm also usually low normal, and this also affects the thyroid -- wouldn't you know! Thyroid hormones need iron (and iodine) among others, to function well. It takes about 6 months to get your iron stores back up to par. Hang in there!Adele Sonorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09736046431512481400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656713234635909790.post-40131261230482839592010-01-17T22:10:58.204-08:002010-01-17T22:10:58.204-08:00Hello Adele,
This is a wonderful informative blog ...Hello Adele,<br />This is a wonderful informative blog and I feel so privileged to get in on it right from the beginning. I have been supplementing with iron to see if it helps with symptoms of restless leg syndrome. Twice in the past few years, when I have tried to go and donate blood, I was turned away because of being just below the "ok" line regarding my iron level. I am taking a supplement called Bifera (which I found at Walgreens) and am wondering if you have heard of it AND what you think of it. It has 2 forms of iron in it and the pharmacist says it is good because the iron is readily absorbed.<br /><br />~NikiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03767944984120094094noreply@blogger.com
