What is the difference between iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia?

Iron deficiency is when you do not have enough iron. This is best demonstrated via a blood ferritin test.

Ferritin is the storage depot for iron. A ferritin below 30 is generally considered iron deficiency. Most people will feel their best with a ferritin above 70.

What is anemia?

Anemia is caused by a lack of hemoglobin. You will find this on a blood test called a CBC or Complete Blood Count. Hemoglobin is crucial for health as it is a protein charged with transporting oxygen to cells and removing carbon dioxide from the body.

Anemia is the symptom of iron deficiency, iron deficiency is the actual disease.

Let's accumulate health through optimized iron levels.
