Are you losing hair, your head aches and you feel like falling asleep at any moment? If yes, then you might suffer from ferritin deficiency (= iron deficiency). Ferritin is the stored iron in the human body and is needed 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 most commonly caused by a low-iron diet. Women need more iron due to monthly menstruation. In men and postmenopausal women, iron deficiency may also be caused by internal bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.
