Why Ferritin Matters for Athletes?
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in your body. Iron is critical for:
🩸Carrying oxygen to muscles (energy & endurance )
🩸Supporting recovery and performance
🩸Preventing fatigue and brain fog
Low ferritin can lead to iron deficiency, even if your hemoglobin is normal, which means your muscles and brain don’t get the oxygen they need.
🏃♀️ Runners & female athletes: check your ferritin regularly to keep energy levels high and performance strong!
Foods rich in heme iron like meat, poultry, and fish, and non-heme iron from plant sources such as beans, spinach, and fortified cereals can help increase ferritin levels.
