7-Day Transferrin Optimization Plan
Protocol Objectives
Protein Adequacy
Transferrin is a protein. Low levels can indicate malnutrition or low protein intake. Eat sufficient quality protein.
Iron Demand
Levels rise when iron is low (trying to capture more iron) and fall when iron is high. Treat the underlying iron status.
Liver Health
Transferrin is made in the liver. Support liver function with choline and vegetables.

Inflammation
Transferrin is a 'negative acute phase reactant', meaning it drops during inflammation/infection. Normalize CRP first.
