Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Serum ferritin is the storage form of iron. The level of ferritin decreases in case of iron deficiency. Initially there is depletion of serum iron followed by ferritin. Thus, Thus, low ferritin implies low storage form of ferritin. Iron supplement will correct the iron deficiency and also the depleted ferritin levels. Once the iron level improves, the ferritin level will also pick up. Do not worry and continue with iron supplement. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
