A member asked:
Should i be worried about my iron levels? ferritin and tibc are normal. iron is 72 mcg/dl, and iron saturation is 24%, low normal. i'm vegan & female.

Ok: Your serum iron level and tibc are normal and thus you are not iron deficient. However as a young menstruating woman you would be wise to take a daily iron supplement.
