A member asked:
For a 19 year old male, 130 lbs, with regular physical activity what should my serum ferritin levels be?

Here's a range: 18-270 ng/ml is pretty good. Glad you're staying active and lean. If low -- look for a cause of early iron deficiency. If high -- you may have hemochromatosis, the easiest killer-disease to manage for a lifetime of good health.
