if you're going to work with minerals, make sure you're clear on what's really happening :)

Ferritin Is a Marker of Inflammation rather than Iron Deficiency in Overweight and Obese People 2016
https://www.hindawi.com/journals/jobe/2016/1937320/

"Obesity predisposes affected individuals to subclinical inflammation. Many studies have concluded that overweight and obese people are in a state of an ongoing subclinical inflammation that can secondarily lead to more catastrophic events like iron deficiency, malignancy, and so forth [10–13].

Ferritin is used a marker of iron deficiency in various healthcare facilities across the globe [14]. Being an acute phase reactant, serum ferritin level is prone to be higher in overweight and obese people, because of a state of subclinical, but generalized inflammation in them [15–17]. Due to this fact, using serum ferritin as a marker of ID or IDA in overweight or obese people is controversial [16, 17]."
