The (unfortunately common) Iron Story

What if the solution to your exhaustion, brain fog, low mood, and unexplained symptoms, was hiding in plain sight?  In a "normal" lab test?  One you see every year, for yourself? 

Clinical Trials Point to a “New Normal” in Iron Levels             

Linda’s Story…

Linda is a highly successful marketing director and marathon runner.  Although it happened gradually, she got to the point where she felt like she was “falling apart.”  Relentless fatigue, a sense of doom, low mood, depressive like symptoms, hair loss, and brain fog. She could hardly focus, even on simple tasks. Eventually she had to stop training for marathons. Work days were a struggle. When she got home, it was straight to bed. 

When Linda told to her doctor, he ordered a blood test. A few days later, she got a call.  Well, everything seems normal here," her doctor said. “I’ll write you a prescription for an anti-depressant, and maybe some therapy would help.” 

But Linda was certain that something was physically wrong. Not mentally. Not emotionally. Not psychologically.  So she started doing her own research. 

She was stunned to learn how many of her symptoms were commonly associated with iron deficiency.  Not anemia per se, but lower than optimal levels. But hadn’t her doctor said her ferratin was “normal?” 

A friend of Linda, who worked at a biotech company in the Silicon Valley CA, told her that doctors consider a ferritin reading of 30 or above as normal.  But new research strongly suggested that a ferratin level below 75 was low. 

In fact, a multitude of recent clinical trials indicated that with a ferratin level below 75, the overwhelming majority of women experience at least two of the same symptoms Linda felt.  So Linda started on a standard iron supplement. 

But within the first week of taking iron, Linda had to stop.  There was abdominal pain,  bloating, and nausea.  “How could the cure be worse than the condition,” she thought.           

“Now what?” 

Linda went to PubMed, an international database of clinical trial research, looking for an answer. What she discovered is that only 10% of the iron you ingest from standard iron supplements gets absorbed. The other 90% remains in the gut, unabsorbed, where it causes those unpleasant side effects.

Then, almost by accident, she landed on an article about a new form of iron called Ferravitin Iron. She noted that university studies and clinical trials showed how Ferravitin Iron eliminated over 99% of unabsorbed iron. Ferravitin, she discovered, only became available in March of 2025. Ferravitin works by bonding iron to a highly absorbable protein peptide called phosvitin. By bonding the iron to the phosvitin peptide, the iron rides “piggyback” into the cells—with practically full absorption and no unabsorbed iron. Clinical trials showed an increase of ferritin by 26 ng/mL in just 30 days.

Linda went back to her doctor and insisted that he run a test looking at ferratin levels.  The report came back at a ferratin level of 38. “Low normal,” was the conclusion.  But isn’t this under 75, she thought.   

Linda started taking Ferravitin Iron, the Rapid restoration formula, in April of 2025. Once a day.  By the end of May, Linda’s ferratin levels were at 78. She’s now on Ferravitin Iron’s Daily Maintenance.  She’s also back to running marathons, better than ever. Linda’s story could be yours, too.
