Hello,

I just got some blood results back and was told to start taking folic acid as my folate was low. Nothing else was mentioned but when I looked at the print out I noticed a few other things that seem a little low. I'm hoping someone here with more knowledge could help.

Serum iron 6 umol/l

Serum ferritin 14 ug/l

Do you think I need an Iron suppliment?

Thank you
