Low ferritin and D: Your iron and vitamin D stores are low. Low vitamin D causes you not to absorb calcium and phosphorus effectively. Phosphorus the major mineral for how body energy chemical (like gas for the car) ATP. When iron is low, the body does is not effectively handle a major element for body energy- oxygen. These are two reasons you are tired. See your doctor. Ask why your iron is low, Take Vitamin D3.
