A member asked:
My recent lab tests came back with iron level of 30, transferrin of 20%, low vitamin d, high b12 and high folate. is this cause for concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lab values: Low iron exists. Low vitamin D exists. These are not major threats but should be remedied. Take iron daily as a supplement. And add Vit d as a supplement. A real good iron pill is vitron C A good dose of Vit D is 1000 units per day
