Ferritin levels at 9.78 ng/mL
Hi there,
I am a 41 year old Female, recently I did a ferritin (chemiluminescence) test and my results show my Ferritin levels at 9.78 ng/mL. This is lower than the minimum levels so I would like to consult a Haematologist to get the right advise on safe iron supplements to bring my ferritin levels up.

Take iron supplement they are usually safe, if you want best take Nutrilite iron tablets.
Take iron at least for 6 month to replenish iron stores.
