Labs....
Labs are in - the ones in red are ones that aren't within range - but I'm pleasantly surprised the ALT/AST is as low as it is, compared to April. I can contribute the Milk Thistle to that. The ferritin/iron - is my fault. I'm not nearly as diligent about the iron as I am with the rest of the vits. I have some still pending too...

HW-218/SW-208/CW-126/ Lowest Weight-121/Goal-125 - hit 8/23/09/Height-5'3" Regain 30 lbs from 2012 to 2016 - got back on track and lost it. Took 8 months. Oh, goody, goody, goody! Ok, Proferrin ES X 2 or 3 a day, all at one time, split into pieces. If you could get your PCP to prescribe Proferrin Forte...even better. It includes Folic Acid but is the same as Proferrin ES for heme iron. Heme iron shouldn't contribute to any constipation. Glad to see the AST & ALT have gone down. --gina Increase calcium by another dose and I'm betting your vitamin D is pretty good 'cause your PTH is pretty good. It can be better but let's see the level when it comes back. 5'1" -- HW 195/SW 187/GW 115 July 08/CW 121 Dec 2012 Heck - I've got the Proferrin ES all cut in half, in the bottle just waiting to be taken. If I remember to do it 2 times a week, that's good - AND - I even moved it into my bathroom, in plain site, so I remember too.... when I DO take it its 4 pieces (2 tablets) at a time.

Ok, try taking the split up Proferrin with your morning or evening batch of vitamins. Just put them in your pill organizer or whatever system you use to make sure you take your multi. Taking Proferrin is like eating liver and is supposed to play nice with other vitamins. Look it up on their web site to make sure, but I'm thinking a multi or D won't interfere with it. --g 5'1" -- HW 195/SW 187/GW 115 July 08/CW 121 Dec 2012 I think more about the calcium factor. I seem to drink a glass of milk before I go to bed sometimes, then think its a waste to take the iron.... Shopping for protein today too.. out of chocolate.

The milk shouldn't stop the Proferrin either. Heme iron is just different. 5'1" -- HW 195/SW 187/GW 115 July 08/CW 121 Dec 2012 Your Folate is very nice. Keep doing what you're doing. 5'1" -- HW 195/SW 187/GW 115 July 08/CW 121 Dec 2012 Went to Vitamin World today, I like their Whey Isolate Chocolate protein.
