Dr.LipidDallas 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 | 76 | 24 | 46 |
| Iron | 106 | 51 | 84 |
| TIBC | 326 | 396 | 336 |
| Transferrin Sat | 30% | 16% | 29% |
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.
