>Ferritin is a universal intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. Serum ferritin levels are a proxy for iron levels in the body. If ferritin is high, there is iron in excess or else there is an ACUTE INFLAMMATORY REACTION in which ferritin is mobilized without iron excess
Brilliant, anon.
I had low ferritin some months ago, and I'm taking pills to get all sorts of stuff into my body (got a chronic colon disease, and my diet is really limited b/c of that).
Do you think I should stop taking these pills for now? My Ferritin surely is way higher now and I took these for 4-5 months now.
