When iron blood markers show irregularities, especially low ferritin, we know that's code for the need for more magnesium, ceruloplasmin (bioavailable copper) and riboflavin (B2).

Iron Toxicity Post #28: Stop allowing ferritin only blood test!

Stop allowing ferritin-only blood tests. Ferritin is coming from damaged cells and has leaked its pro-oxidant iron load.
