Back in Febuary 2016, my doctor noticed a spike in my iron blood levels: value of 185µg/dl (40-155 reference range).

 

I started off with consuming Chlorella occasionally, also bought modified pectine from Swanson. I'm not sure either of these did anything huge.

 

Upon researching a bit more I decided on trying out IP-6 to get some iron out of my body. I bought a tub of IP6 Gold Immune Support Formula(14.6 oz powder mix). Finished this tub today (I forgot about taking it for a while, only recently religiously took it every day to finish the tub).

 

Recent bloodwork revealed my levels to now be at 135µg/dl. It's hardly halved my levels, but to me it does show that IP-6 is quite capable of getting Iron out of your body, although it does take some time. If I start donating blood some more, I'm sure I can now take my levels down further.

Woops kind of intended to make this thread in the 'Supplement' forum. Not sure I can remedy this myself.

I'm just 24. Good tip about the R-ALA, should stock up on it.

I thought it was mainly an old person disease, but hemochromotosis affects all ages apparently. Wont know for another few years, just keep getting blood tests.
