Iron deficiency isn't always black and white. While ferritin below 30 is generally considered deficient, many women start experiencing fatigue, brain fog, and low energy well before reaching that point.
Treatment depends on symptoms, ferritin levels, and what works best for the individual. Some women do well with oral supplements, while others may benefit from an iron infusion when levels are particularly low or symptoms are significant.
