Why a ferritin check matters — not just haemoglobin
Ferritin measures your iron storage. Ferritin, iron and haemoglobin are related — but they are not the same. Click each part to understand what low iron storage means for your body.
What this means
Ferritin
Iron Storage
Ferritin is your body’s stored iron. It can drop first, before haemoglobin becomes abnormal.
Key points
- Shows your iron reserve
- May explain tiredness and hair fall earlier
- Useful before anaemia is detected
Main takeaway
Ferritin can drop before haemoglobin.You may feel tired, have brain fog, notice hair loss, pale skin or brittle nails even when haemoglobin is still normal. That is why a ferritin check helps you assess iron storage earlier.

Ferritin & iron storage — helpful answers before your visit.
Is this just stress — or low iron storage?
Sometimes stress plays a part, but low ferritin and reduced iron storage may also cause you to feel tired, experience brain fog, or notice hair loss and pale skin.
What is ferritin?
Ferritin reflects your body's iron storage — how much iron reserve you have stored. A ferritin check measures this level and helps assess iron storage before anaemia develops.
What's the difference between iron and ferritin?
Iron is a mineral your body uses to make healthy red blood cells and carry oxygen. Ferritin is your iron storage marker — it shows how much iron reserve you have for future use.
What's the difference between hemoglobin and ferritin?
Hemoglobin shows how well your blood carries oxygen. Ferritin reflects iron storage. You may have normal hemoglobin but still have low ferritin — which is why a ferritin check matters.
Can low ferritin cause tiredness, brain fog or hair loss?
Yes. Low iron storage may contribute to feeling tired, brain fog, hair loss, pale skin and brittle nails. A ferritin check helps clarify whether iron storage could be a factor.
Why should I get a ferritin check?
If you feel tired, have brain fog, hair loss, pale skin or brittle nails, a ferritin check at Alpro Pharmacy can help you understand your iron storage and next steps.
