Did you mean Ferritin?

GlossaryFerritin

protein storing iron in cells, crucial for bodily functions

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in your cells and releases it when your body needs it. It acts as a buffer against iron deficiency and iron overload, playing a crucial role in maintaining healthy iron levels, which are essential for various bodily functions, including the production of red blood cells. Low ferritin levels can be a sign of iron deficiency, which can lead to conditions like anemia and hair loss.
