Hello,

I want to start fresh beef liver for my b12, iron and other vitamins for cofactors, how much do you take for b12 or iron deficiency ? Is that everyday ? Other day ? Week ?

Thanks

Hello,

How much copper do you need daily to properly support ferritin and hemoglobin levels? I take 84mg of iron everyday. I realized that my regular diet contains very little to no copper at all.

Thanks!

Hello,

I’ve been supplementing with iron for the past 5 months and doing blood tests every 1.5 to 3 months. My ferritin should currently be around 70-80, but over the last 3 weeks my nails have started splitting deep into the pink part, and I’ve also developed mouth ulcers.

About a week ago, I added vitamin B12 to my routine because I noticed from my blood tests that increasing iron seems to lower my B12 levels (Lost 100 points in 1 month and a half).

Do you think I might need additional cofactors? Which deficiencies or cofactors could potentially cause brittle/splitting nails and mouth ulcers?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I’m posting because I really need some encouragement. I had been anemic for a very, very long time (around 10 to 20 years) and for the past 5 months I’ve finally decided to seriously tackle the problem (my iron was at 18 and my hemoglobin at 10.9). I had nails snapping (i no longer have that, and my energy is a bit better, but when I have a bad sleep - almost everyday-, I'm usually exhausted and some days I'm not). I recently had 2 nights of good sleep but that's all)

Since then, I’ve been supplementing, and about a month and a half ago my ferritin had risen to 48, with a hemoglobin level of 11. I’m now taking 80 to 100 mg of elemental iron per day, on an empty stomach with vitamin C, plus B12 (because increasing my iron seems to deplete my B12, in 3 months I lost 100 points of B12).

I think my ferritin may be around 70 now (I’ll soon have blood work done again), yet restorative sleep still hasn’t returned. I’m feeling discouraged. Do I need to keep increasing my ferritin to a certain level ? What should I do ? If any of you have recovery stories, I’d really appreciate hearing them.

Thank you very much.

OMG, can we talk about the nightmares from the b12 supplements ? I'm waking up so tired, did you find something that can remove the Bad sleep/nightmares ? I'm currently at 60-70 of ferritin and increasing my vitamin D too. I'm currently at 341 of b12. I'm taking 500ug of b12 methylcobalamine (in the same supplement, there is 210ug of b6 and 30ug of b9).

Thank you

Hello,

My father is 67 and lives in the Caribbean. He used to walk a lot, but over the past year, things have changed. He now gets tired very quickly, especially in his legs, and can’t walk as much as before.

For example, after walking just 200-300 meters, he feels significant fatigue in his legs, and it seems to affect his nerves and even his sleep, he everytime gets insomnia afterward. Even standing for around 3/4hours can trigger the same issue. Whenever he exerts himself physically during 15-20 minutes, it seems to negatively impact his sleep by giving him insomnia and being exhausted.

He also experiences lumbar fatigue, especially in his lower back and legs. He thinks it might be related to a deficiency in vitamins like B12, B9, or B6. He has already tried taking a B-complex supplement (though not very high in B12) and vitamin C, but without much improvement.

Another detail: he has a smooth tongue.

We’ve also been told it could be related to some kind of nervous system dysregulation.

Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this? Could it really be a vitamin deficiency? If so, which ones should he consider? Are B12, B9, and B6 enough, or should he look into something else? Ideally, something that could help without worsening his sleep as he wants to start walking again.

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

I'm wondering, people with iron deficiency/anemia are usually deficient in which other type of vitamins ?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering which type of anxiety related to anemia/iron deficiency do/did you have ? I mean anxiety about what ?

Thanks

Hello,

I'm iron deficient (ferritin at 50-60 now), overcoming anemia, vitamin D deficient (started supplementing everyday since 2 weeks), and I believe b12 (didn't start yet - I'm at 340) and zinc deficient (didn't start yet). I've a baby boy of 2,5 yo and when I sleep when my hubby works, I'm anxious that he's not there to take care of my baby boy and I'm alone (I sleep 9 hours per day -and tired when I wake up-, so he's gone before I wake up), and I'm anxious when my baby boy is alone in his bed playing with his toys and I'm sleeping, I wake up multiple times anxious and I stop my sleep to take care of my baby boy (but he's good, my hubby feeds and change him, letting him in baby sleeping bag before leaving). Do you think it's because of my deficiencies ? Which vitamins can help ? What can I do ?

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

At which level of ferritin your sleep was great, deep... ? I'm currently overcoming decades of anemia, I might be in the 50's. I don't have such great sleep, I'm waking up every night.

What's your current vitamins routine in a day ? And what it did for you ?

Hello everyone,

I've been iron deficient since decade, since 5 months I now take biglyscinate iron, it went from around 15 to 55, still supplementing everyday. I feel better now.

And I think I've b12 deficiency too. In 2023, my b12 was about a 100, since I take b-complex by period, I raised it at 340 but I figured out my b-complex only have 4ug of b12 by capsule, and I should take only 1 capsule per day.

I will then start to add 500ug to 1000ug per day in b12, no sublingual (I'm not interested in this one), did anyone has success story with a full b12 recovery with pills ? In how much time ?

I cannot ask for an infusion, they already refused for iron, I know they'll refuse for b12 since I support supplements (never tried medicated supplements but dietetic supplements). I'm at 341pmol/l, is that sufficient ?

Thanks a lot

Hey everyone,

I've been dealing with this issue for a while now and I'm running out of ideas.

My domain (t4culture.fr) has been categorized as "Suspicious" (Medium confidence of malicious intent) by FortiGuard, which is causing major issues as large companies using Fortinet firewalls (broadcasters, media groups) can't open any links I send them.

Context : I was on hostinger on an ip shared site and my domain was tagged as suspicious, I migrated my domain to ovh which is still ip shared site and asked fortinet to remove suspicious, they didn't.

Here's what I've investigated so far:

- My site is clean: Sucuri shows **no malware, not blacklisted** on 9 lists

- The domain is registered since November 2024 (1.5 years old)

- FortiGuard categorizes it as "Arts and Culture" which is fine, but the Risk Level stays "Suspicious"

- I checked my IP on AbuseIPDB: 94 abuse reports for port scanning but it's a shared OVH hosting IP, not my fault

My questions:

1. Is there something I can do now ?

2. Is the shared IP reputation really the main cause of the Suspicious risk level?

3. Will setting up Cloudflare proxy actually fix this with Fortinet?

4. Has anyone successfully gotten a domain's risk level changed by FortiGuard? How long did it take?

5. Is there any direct contact at FortiGuard Labs for legitimate business cases?

6. What do you think the matter is and would you do in my shoes to resolve this matter ?

Any experience or advice welcome, this is genuinely hurting my business relationships.

Thanks
