Hair Mineral Test Shows High Copper/Low Iron. Bloods show the opposite (low-normal copper/ceruloplasim & high normal iron)
Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help me. I don’t know how to optimise. I know technically in-range for bloods aside from TSAT but very close to end of ranges.
Iron bloods
**•** Iron: 29.5 umol/L (range 10–30)
**•** TIBC: 57 umol/L (range 45–81)
**•** UIBC: 27.2 umol/L (range 12–43)
**•** Transferrin Saturation: 52% (range 25–45) — flagged high
**•** Ferritin: 84 ug/L (range 30–442)
Hair Mineral Analysis (nutrient elements)
**•** Iron (Fe): 1.26 %mg
**•** Copper (Cu): 4.274 %mg — above the acceptable range band
Caeruloplasmin/Copper Panel (capillary blood)
**•** Ceruloplasmin: 0.23 g/L (range 0.2–0.6)
**•** Copper: 13.59 umol/L (range 11.00–22.00)
Unsure how to act as the data seems so conflicting.
Any help hugely appreciated.
Main issues trying to resolve are brain fog and anxiety.
Thanks
