Hello :) I have the same disease and have lots of info for you. I take vitamins and minerals everyday to help block and drop my iron count.I had the Phelbotomy done every week for 5 months and have been dropped down enough to be checked once a month. My list of vitamins I was given is as follows:
200mcg Selenium
Vitamin B complex
800mcg Folic acid
30mg zinc
300mg Grape seed skin extract
120mg Ginkgo extract
1,000mg Aged garlic extract
500mg Alpha-Lipoic acid
60mg Palm-oil Tocotrienols
600mg N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC)
300mg Elemental Calcium with each meal
500mg Elemental Magnesium
500mg Silymarin Extract (containing a high % of Silbinin)
1,200mg Green tea extract ( 95 % with most meals with a 100mg of EGCG ) i take 3 pills each time I have a meal.
3mg of Melatonin @ bedtime
260mg Milk thistle ( I have been taking 1,000 mg 3 times a day)
I take most of them everyday. I have tried to only take at least half the list due to in a year I will have to change to the others. Your ferritin will become immune to them after a year so you have to keep changing back and forth. I hope this note to you does not come to you to late,I have more information on Facebook look for " Hemochromatosis awerness" I made the page for my dad when he was diagnosed with this disease. I have been fighting it myself since November of 2011.
Good Luck to you in your road to better health with this disease:)
