Losing hair, your head aches and you feel like falling asleep at any moment? Does this sound familiar to you? If yes, then you might suffer from ferritin deficiency (= iron deficiency). Ferritin is the stored iron in the human body and needed by the body for the transportation of oxygen in blood and vital for various enzymatic processes.
Ferritin deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency worldwide!
Iron deficiency is mostly caused by low-iron diet. Women need more iron due to the monthly menstruation. In men and postmenopausal women, iron deficiency may also be caused internal bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.
Further complaints:
- dry skin
- brittle fingernails
- weakened immune system

Worldwide, iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency. Every third person on the globe is suffering from iron deficiency. The symptoms are very diverse and often not directly point towards this diagnosis. Therefore, this deficiency is relatively often recognised rather late. Iron carries oxygen in the blood to all body cells which is vital for the metabolism of energy in the cells. Too low iron levels are thus causing poor oxygen supply amongst others to brain and muscles.
Symptoms of iron deficiency:
- unusual tiredness
- headaches and dizziness
- poor physical and cognitive performance
- dry skin, cracks at the corner of the mouth
