Would like to know "generally" how long it takes for ferritin to build back up, when supplementing with iron. i.e. X mg iron/day increased ferritin by X points in X time
Took me about 8 months, supplementing with 28mg 2x daily with Feosol brand tablets (contains heme iron).
Iron: 38 (50-180 mcg/dL) to 119 after 8 mo, then 85 at 12 mo.
Ferritin: 27 (38-380 ng/mL) to 31 in 8mo, then 169 at 12 mo.
Testosterone replacement can cause a decrease in ferritin in men even without the presence or use of blood donations or therapeutic phlebotomies. A study gave men testosterone enanthate at a dose of 125 mg per week (it also used T enanthate with or without finasteride to see the effect of...

It takes a while to increase it with iron plus Vitamin C supplementation.
High levels of iron in the body can, as we know, lead to some serious health problems, as I documented in my book, Dumping Iron. Among […]

Conclusões: O aumento da hemoglobina e do hematócrito induzido pela testosterona estão associados à estimulação da EPO e à redução das concentrações de ferritina e hepcidina. Propomos que a testosterona estimula a eritropoiese estimulando a EPO e recalibrando o ponto de ajuste da EPO em relação à hemoglobina e aumentando o uso de ferro para eritropoiese.
