[quote=Anonymous]one thing I’ve experienced is that if kid’s ferritin levels are at low end of range, but still in what’s widely considered within a range - like 20 for a male teen - doctors will err on the side of a more conservative treatment. What they fail to appreciate is that it’s crippling for an endurance athlete - so better to find a doc with a sports related practice or background. 20 for a male teen runner is very very low and should be addressed - kid should see dramatic improvement with supplementing (good point above on every other day, and with vitamin C to maximize absorption) and improved diet - eat some steak and spinach! :)[/quote]
