Ferritin

Why we test it
Ferritin reflects your iron stores. Both iron deficiency and iron overload affect the brain. Low ferritin impairs oxygen delivery and energy production in neurons. Elevated ferritin can promote oxidative damage and neuroinflammation.
BetterBrain target
40-100 ng/mL (women) / 50-150 ng/mL (men)
Both iron deficiency and overload affect the brain. Our range is tighter on both ends than standard labs.
