RE: Re: Any opinions on Hemaplex?

Hi , you need large doses of vitamin C with any iron

supplements to help with iron absorption. You need about 4/5000.

I went out and bought it anyway... I could not

find the Ferrous Sulphate...where did you buy it?

I took two Hemaplex today and so far I am not feeling odd or have any stomach

issues - I figure I can work up to 4x per day. I like that it has Vit C, etc.

in it...then maybe I will not have to pop so many pills with each meal.

Have you done the 24 hour salivary adrenal profile to

see where your cortisol and DHEA levels lie at four particular times during the

day. Many hypothyroid sufferers have low adrenal reserve and until that

is treated, no amount of thyroid hormone can get into the cells. If you have

not had this test, first go to our Files section (accessible from the Home Page

of this forum) and scroll down to the Folder entitled 'Medical Questionnaires'

- then do the Adrenal Questionnaire and see how you score. You can also

complete the Candida and Magnesium questionnaire whilst you are there.

Then go back to the Files, and click on ;'Adrenals' and in the

list there you will find 'Home Testing'. Try those out and see what happens and

let us know.

Thanks for writing back. Good to know it is at Boots. I will let you know how

it goes... I started T3 with a low Ferritin and it has been mixed...I kind of

tollerate it and kind of don't. Same thing happened to me on Armour. Yes..a

slow road . We can share Ferritin stories in a few months and hopefully we

will have something to celebrate..

300mgs vitamin C won't do much good in your particular case

though , so pleased to hear you are also taking 4000mgs daily with

meals.

Thank you. Actually the Hemaplex has 300mg of

Vit C in each dose. I also take 3000mg of Vit C per day with meals. Fingers

crossed it works.
