    supplement iron?

    These were the levels of iron before starting to donate, they looked low then I can only imagine they will drop with regular donations. Should I add some iron?

    Ferritin 22-336--> 27
    Iron Lvl 35-160--> 116

    Only take iron under a doctors care, too much iron can damage your liver.

    yeah, those are good levels, my iron is 28, doctor is obviously having me take iron now. You can die from iron supplementation.

    I don't see why your iron level would drop if you body's absorption is normal.
