I added the Rhesus factor just for personal curiosity. But I've been borderline anemic for years (and I'm not because I'm a carnivore and take supplement pills). I'm closer of needing a donation than being able to do one.
Quote:The last time I tried to donate blood, they told me I didn't have enough iron, which is hard to believe, since I get about 800% of my daily recommended value of iron from the cereal I eat.And even if you took five kilos of iron daily, it still wouldn't get absorbed. Or don't you know that non-hemo iron doesn't get absorbed if it's not combined with folic acid, vitamin B12 and lots of vitamin C? Osokatta Wise.
