I've been working on my Ferritin behind the scenes for 3 years. Then, I finally found something that gave me a 19-point bump in just three months! Did I really have asymptomatic low stomach acid all along? Or is there another reason my Ferritin has been low..? Stay tuned for another citizen science video with your favorite Youtube geek, Dr. D! ;)
