Don't worry, these levels are common and quite easy to manage. you can absolutely take Feromore XT..Since you have a sensitive stomach, take the tablet after a meal.
Health Tips
Do not have tea, coffee, or milk for at least 2 hours before or after taking the iron, as these can affect its absorption.Taking it with a bit of orange juice can help soak up the iron better.

ð No overt anemia
Iron profile
⢠Serum iron â normal
⢠TIBC â normal

ð Iron circulation is adequate
Ferritin
⢠Ferritin: 24 ng/ml
ð This is LOW NORMAL / borderline low iron stores
ð Not anemia, but iron stores are depleted
Vitamin B12
⢠B12: 270 pg/ml
ð Borderline low
ð Can cause fatigue, hair fall, low energy over time
Final conclusion
ð You do NOT have iron deficiency anemia
ð But you have:
⢠Low iron stores (early deficiency stage)
⢠Borderline B12 deficiency
Your main question: Can you take Feromore XT?
ð YES, you can take it and it is actually a good choice in your case

No supplements needed. Just take iron and vit c rich food, as vit c helps in better absorption of iron present in plant based foods.
