Don't know where your fatigue is coming from? 😫

Understanding the difference between iron and ferritin could explain why you’re feeling flat - even if your iron levels came back 'normal' 📊

Iron in your blood comes from your diet and is used quickly to oxygenate your body whereas Ferritin stores excess iron, like a savings account for days when your intake falls short. Low ferritin (even with normal iron) could mean your reserves are depleted - this is known as non-anaemic iron deficiency. 📉

Blood tests can assess both iron and ferritin levels to provide a more complete picture of your iron status.

Finding it hard to improve your iron levels with tablets? You’re not alone.

In some cases, your doctor may recommend an iron infusion. This option, which bypasses the digestive system and delivers iron directly into the bloodstream, might be appropriate if tablets haven’t worked for you.
