A member asked:
I have a ferritin level of 1 and hemoglobin of 12.5. if my ferritin drops to 0 will my hemoglobin carry oxygen through my body. ?

Low ferritin: Low ferritin eventually leads to iron deficiency anemia.Your current hemoglobin is within normal range for a young woman. When one is anemic, hgb loses ability to carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. In this country, iron deficiency in young women is usually from monthly menstrual blood loss and not dietary issues. Taking iron supplements correct or prevent iron deficiency anemia
