Any personal experiences with building their ferritin levels back up?

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

Has anyone kept track of this?
 
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.

Também, mas do que pesquisei, grande maioria dos casos de elevada é em razão de inflamação e não excesso de ferro
 
Many men on TRT have low ferritin even without blood donations.


It takes a while to increase it with iron plus Vitamin C supplementation.

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.
