Serum iron is what's circulating right now — it moves with meals and time of day. Ferritin is what's in storage, and it's the more stable picture. Transferrin and transferrin saturation describe the transport system moving iron around. This matters because storage can run low well before circulating iron looks unusual. Fatigue, poor exercise tolerance and low mood are common reasons people look at iron, and a single measurement without ferritin can miss the picture entirely. Timing matters: collect in the morning after an overnight fast, and hold iron supplements for 24 hours beforehand unless your practitioner says otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll four markers against their reference ranges in your private dashboard, in plain language.
