What is Ferritin?The human body stores about three to five grams of iron. Because free iron is toxic to the organism, iron stored in cells is coated by a protein complex called ferritin. Since a small amount of ferritin passes into the blood, ferritin determination helps to detect iron deficiency in the body. If your ferritin level is severely low, your iron storages are depleted.
