@thewellnesspharm: ferritin tips since everyone is asking 🤭 🦋 ask for ferritin by name, it's not included on every panel, you also want serum iron, TIBC, transferrin saturation + a CBC 🦋 they will call ferritin normal at 15, that is the floor, not where you feel your best 🦋 iron rich foods: red meat, oysters, sardines, lentils, beans, spinach, pumpkin seeds, cacao 🦋 pair iron with vitamin C (kiwi, citrus, bell peppers), it increases absorption a lot… keep dairy, calcium, coffee + tea away from iron by 1 to 2 hours, they block absorption 🦋 please don't take iron unless your labs are low + your doctor instructs you #ferritin #lowferritin #ferritintips #healthandwellness
