There isn’t a lot of formal research specifically linking iron infusions to altered HRT effects, after some reading and thought there are some plausible that may explain what’s happening. 1. Iron infusions and oestrogen metabolism ✅Iron is a cofactor in liver enzyme systems (particularly cytochrome P450 enzymes) involved in oestrogen metabolism. → After an infusion, as ferritin and transferrin saturation rise, liver enzyme activity can temporarily shift meaning oestrogen might be metabolised dif

High ferritin does not automatically mean iron overload. And this is where so many women get confused — and stressed — about their labs. If your iron, saturation, and transferrin are normal but ferritin is high? >> That’s often inflammation, not excess iron. In midlife, ferritin can climb because of: • Fatty liver • Blood sugar & insulin issues • Alcohol • Medications • Hormone loss itself Ferritin is an inflammatory marker — not just an iron marker. This shows up a lot in menopausal women, and
