Ok what are optimal levels of ferritin for both women and men id like to know mostly specifically for men. What do people generally have here on the forum? As people who know my threads ive went from 50 to latest 180. And at 180 i donated blood now coz i didnt want them that high. When my levels was at 50 I was so freaking tired as a male. Now after I donated blood the past week Ive been feeling it coming back. I mean im just maybe supposed to have close to 200 to feel optimal. From what ive understood some labs say 20-300 for men while some say 20 - 500. If 500 is upper limit then 200 doesnt seem that bad. I mean everything under a 100 was horrible for me and not untill I had 200 I started to be able to do what ever I wanted with breeze. Anyone got any clues or ideas? Really would like to establish some sort of optimal range. Even get rays opinion or haidut if anyone had them or knows them. A lot says ferritin should be kept low. But what is low? Under 100? Under 200? 300? Under a 1000? People with hemochroma has like between 1000-10 000. My hemoglobin was 158 when i donated. Which from what ive understood is high and good range. Probably lower now since i dlnated. How can I get it up and oxygen transport etc without eating iron supps and increasing my ferritin?
