Allergies, blood and immune system

Hello everyone, hope you are all doing well.

I have been diagnosed with HH for 2 years now and after 1 year of weekly venesection my ferritin levels are around 50. I have venesection every 3 months at the moment.

I have been taking various supplements but am now wondering if they may be harmful due to my Haemochromatosis.

Here is a list of what I take daily. Any advice will be welcome.

6000mg Milk Thistle

200mg Magnesium

2000mg Omega 3

800iu Vitamin E

All the best

Dillinger

When I started taking a strong milk thistle my transferrin saturation went from 57% to 87% in 4 weeks.It may have been a coincidence.

I've read something about milk thistle recently that was detrimental, but can't remember what it was. I'd probably research it a bit.

I also heard that milk thistle is a no no for us hh folk...
