Ferritin: Iron Optimizer

Tired, foggy, losing hair, and told your iron is normal?

Put the Fe back in female. Fe is iron. Normal is not optimal.

A lab can call a ferritin of 12 normal, because its range comes from people who are often low on iron themselves. The program Ferritin follows treats 50 as the minimum and aims for 70 to 100. Ferritin reads your blood tests against both, finds out why your iron is low, and runs the daily plan that brings it up, with a recheck date so you see it move.

Iron is easy to waste
Coffee with a meal can cut the iron you take in from it by about three quarters, and black tea by more. Dairy competes with it, and vitamin C from food helps it in. In a trial in women low on iron, the same tablets taken every other day were absorbed about a third better than daily. Ferritin turns findings like these into your day, so you keep your coffee and stop losing the iron.

1. It reads your numbers
• Photograph or upload your lab report. Ferritin reads it and puts every marker on your timeline, with its date and your lab's unit.
• Each result against your lab's range and the program's goal, so a 12 is never just normal.

2. It finds out why
• Low iron has more than one cause. Ferritin walks through them, the most common first: what you eat and when, how you take your iron, absorption, inflammation, thyroid, vitamin D and blood loss, heavy periods among them.
• When your ferritin stops rising, Why is it stuck? checks again and lists the questions to take to your doctor.
• The doctor pack puts your results, doses and check-ins on one page before an appointment.

3. It runs the plan
• Iron meals with vitamin C from food, and coffee, tea, matcha and dairy timed around them.
• Plate check: photograph a meal and see the iron on it, what helps it and what blocks it.
• Iron nights: your supplement at bedtime, with a reminder.
• Scan a supplement label and log the dose your doctor gave you. Ferritin never sets one.
• Iron recipes and a 7-day menu, for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans.
• Weekly check-ins on energy, brain fog, hair, breath, cold hands and sleep, so you see more than a number change.

On your phone
• Widgets for your home screen: what is next, the iron that got in today, whether coffee fits right now, and your iron stores against your goal.
• Short lessons on food, timing and your labs, with the studies behind them.

Honest numbers
Ferritin is educational, not medical advice. It does not diagnose or treat any condition, and your doctor has the last word. The period iron figure is an estimate from the flow you log. Your dose comes from your doctor.
