Ok, so I take it the answer is without seeing as how those don't have iron?

Have you had your ferritin tested?

I would be careful taking large doses of iron. If you buy the women's multi it still has iron but less. I would save the larger doses of Iron for after your blood draws, cause this will deplete ferritin.

Any liver aide like the one I posed can drop ferritin levels.

Its a balancing act that you will need to learn how your react. If HH is high than yea most of the time Iron will be.

Thats why the MIC is great, it does a bunch of positive things.

here is good thread with some big names discussing the issue.

Great read. Thanks for that. Ok, so what I gathered from the end of that is that if I'm donating regularly, which I am, then I need the vits with iron because donating drops your levels.

But as you said I think I will avoid large doses of iron to be on the safe side. I'll try to find one with a moderate dose. Maybe even get two different types of vitamins, one with a low level of iron and the other with a moderate dose.
