  • An elevated MCV (mean corpuscular volume) is an indication of impaired oxygen delivery.
    This can result in symptoms of fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath and decreased life performance.
    When red blood cells are small it often associated with low iron but when they are big nutritionally it is usually related to low B12, folate, thiamine, and B6.
    Recognize if oxygen delivery is impaired then it is really challenging for healing to occur.
    The next time you get a CBC check your MCV level. The goal is to have it around 88-90. We don’t want it too low either as that also impairs oxygen delivery.

    Also how would I go about taking your iron supplement on trt? Is it still safe to take as recommended? I know I need to be more careful on trt with iron or so I’ve heard.

      You need to be careful about your red blood cells going too high. This is not an iron problem. Check you ferritin and you will be good to go 👍🏻

      Yes, small red blood cells usually means iron deficiency. See www.optimizeiron.com
