Iron deficiency is the most prevalent nutritional deficiency worldwide, affecting over 30% of the global population . Despite its widespread impact on everything from immunity to cognition and energy levels, it often goes undetected. The World Health Organization states that ferritin levels below 15 g/L in adults are deemed low.

If your ferritin levels are at or below this threshold, you could be suffering from dangerously low ferritin levels, also known as anaemia.
