Ferritin face has been all over social media in recent months, but what does it actually mean?
"Ferritin face" is a term being used to describe changes in physical appearance that may be linked to low iron stores. Think paler, dry & dehydrated skin, cracked lips and dark under eyes.
When assessing overall health, healthcare providers will often look beyond iron levels alone, and pay closer attention to ferritin, the body's iron storage. Measuring ferritin helps determine how much iron is stored and readily available for your body to draw from when needed.
That's why, when choosing an iron supplement, it's important to consider whether it supports not only iron levels, but also helps replenish your ferritin stores.
So, if you've only been focusing on your iron levels lately, remember that your ferritin levels matter too!
