A member asked:
Got blood test results back today, i'm a 16yo female, vegetarian. ferritin levels at 11.2, is that bad? i have some symptoms linked to anaemia.

Very serious: Vegetarianism is moral high ground but if you do not supplement scientifically, you will ruin your health. You are a young woman and need iron. Your physician will recommend something based on a full work up. Please use discernment in evaluating "pop" claims about health and lifestyle.
