I have been feeling extremely tired and my blood work showed low serum iron (9) and low vitamin D. My doctor advised me to take 325 mg of Ferrous Glutamate and 2000 mg of vitamin D daily. I have been on this regimen for a year, but recently I doubled the dose for two days and then started my period two weeks early. Could this be related to the change in dosage?

Even with supplements, ongoing fatigue and early menses may need rechecking iron stores and hormone levels. Over supplementing can affect cycles too. Test and adjust accordingly. Consider testing for TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Serum Ferritin, FSH and LH

Dr. Kamran Suggests...

Take a Ferritin Test Test or Take a FSH and LH Test Test
