Lab Results Don't Lie!
I had labs drawn on 8/28/13 and here are the results with acceptable ranges listed in parentheses:
Iron 32 (50-150)
Ferratin (amount of iron in your bone) 12 (20-300)
Hemoglobin 11.5 (12-16)
Hematocrit 35% (36-43)
As you can see, my numbers were low. My doctor wanted to put me on Feraheme infusions which are typically done in an infusion (chemo) clinic. I did the research and knew I wanted no part of this (I should probably mention that I am an RN). About a week after getting these lab results I went to my local health food store and explored my options. Blood Builder was highly recommended. I went online to amazon to check out some reviews and I was sold. I started taking one tablet daily and actually started slacking off about 2 weeks ago taking it about 5 days a week. Anyhoo, on 10/15/13 I went back to have labs drawn. Here are the results below.
Iron: 40
Ferratin: 17
Hemoglobin: 12
Hematocrit: 38%
Guess I won't be needing those infusions, after all! Hope this review is helpful! Peace and blessings!
