My HCT stays around 47 / 48 with regular blood donations.
Most recently it jumped in seven weeks from 47 to 55, (at 56 they won’t take it), while using whey isolate.
Totally surprised me and we started talking about what had changed in my diet. She mentioned whey protein and to look for its iron %. It’s 0% RDA iron, but I can’t think of anything else.
A quick Google shows that although it’s not the iron content, it will raise the count. I’ll go back in a month and see what it’s dropped to.
Anyone want a good deal on a partially used tub of isolate,.....lol.
