Retatrutide common side lowering iron concentration

[Mayne]

Yea so wondering how many yall have experienced low iron on retatrutide can speak on myself, one more person we both had ours lowered by 6.3 (5mg retatrutide), 5 (3mg retatrutide) may likely yet supplement see change later on

 

[Here2Learn]

Interesting, unfortunately I can’t add to your data point as all of the women in my family have high iron levels and typically have to donate blood as they get older. This might actually be a good thing for me.

I had the same problem ...
caused by Tirz

 

[sushak]

Same, on tirz. It was suggested changes to pH in gut could reduce absorption of dietary iron. Now I supplement

I have not experienced that and I been on it for 3 months

Mine trended low on sema and I added lactoferritin

I can conquer with this.
All my biomarkers are good, except iron.

 

[BamaCrazy]

I’ve been on Reta or Tirz for about 12 months. My Iron and Ferritin levels are great. My FEB Iron lab result is 129 (38-169).

Never had an issue with Iron! After bumping dosage I did get some nasty sulfur burps that went away after a few weeks

 

[Mayne]

Yea so just one week on 14mg iron/day brought my levels back to normal yet saw one more change my uric acid went down 3.7 to 3.3 (lower than reference) check see yours maybe worthy monitoring

What's your albumin? Have you checked it?

Is there a way to increase uric acid?

Is there a way to increase uric acid?

You can consume foods that contain purine. Sardines, anchovies, organ meats, and drink alcohol. My uric acid was also low on my January labs.

Beef, pork, lamb, goose, duck and partridge also have large amounts.

Is It such a bad thing tha uric acid is low? I know it's bad when it's high... And why glp1 bring uric acid down?

A little low is ok. I gave my lab results to my Doc and he didn’t seem concerned at all.

I’m still reading this study but it seems to conclude that GLPs do not lower uric acid serum levels. Until Mayne mentioned his was low I didn’t think much about it.

Because I remember mine being low too and I had low albumin % as well.

And the only variables except AAS was the glp1

Or maybe I misunderstood the conclusion and it does lower uric acid.

I found this also. Maybe there is a slight correlation

1. Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Insulin resistance is linked to higher uric acid levels. By improving insulin sensitivity, semaglutide can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively, which may, in turn, lower uric acid levels.
