Why Your Ferritin Won't Increase (Even Taking Iron Every Day?)

Taking iron every day but your ferritin is still not going up? It's not your fault.

In 2021, my ferritin was 3. Normal is above 30. This guide is everything I learned about why ferritin stays low — the 3 reasons nobody talks about:

1. INTAKE — your body can't use what you're taking (wrong type, wrong timing, missing helpers like copper)
2. ABSORPTION — your gut can't take the iron in
3. LOSS — you're losing iron faster than replacing it

Plus the exact fixes for each reason, and the exact iron I personally used.

My experience, not medical advice. Always check with your doctor.
