What concerns me though is the ferritin being low because ferritin is a really critical
iron storage protein and that's one that does tends to be low in endurance athletes and that's very very similar to like an iron deficiency anemia so there's different forms of anemia like you can have a b12 deficiency anemia, you can have a folic deficiency anemia or you can have an iron deficiency anemia where either iron stores are low or ferritin which is your
iron storage protein is low and this is something that you can definitely fix.
Ferritin is the major
iron storage protein in the body and provides the most bioavailable form of iron.
Overview: Ferritin is
our iron storage protein, and low levels are commonly associated with Hashimoto's and may lead to fatigue, difficulty breathing, and big time hair loss.
Most people who are diagnosed with Hashimoto's will also present with low levels of vitamin B12, antioxidants selenium, vitamin E, and glutathione, as well as zinc and ferritin (
the iron storage protein).
Because
the iron storage protein, that's what we're gonna test.
And we like people to get up, you know, 60, 70, 80 with ferritin just to ensure that — that
iron storage protein is actually working.

«Ferritin, a
protein - coated
iron storage molecule, is normally found throughout the mouse and human body, but in our experiments, we modified it, placing the ferritin particles in different positions to see if we could improve our results,» says co-first author Sarah Stanley, a senior research associate in Friedman's lab.
