Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world, with up to 20% of menstruating women lacking in the mineral and up to 5% having iron deficiency anaemia, largely due to ...

Many otherwise healthy people, unknown to them, have low iron levels. Why do low iron and ferritin levels happen? Dr Suranjit Chatterjee, senior consultant, internal medicine, Indraprastha Apollo ...

Normal ferritin levels range from 15-150 ng/mL for females and 15-200 ng/mL for males. High ferritin levels can indicate an iron overload or inflammation. Eating iron-rich foods can help you raise ...

Ferritin is a protein that’s produced in the body’s cells, and largely concentrated in the liver and immune system cells. Ferritin stores and releases iron, which is essential for producing red blood ...
