Iron Storage and Distribution

According to the Acu-Cell Nutrition principles regarding mineral transport and storage:

The liver is the primary organ responsible for storing the majority of the body's ferritin iron.
Additional significant storage sites include the spleen and bone marrow.
Ferritin acts as the primary intracellular protein that stores iron in a soluble and non-toxic state, releasing it in a controlled fashion.
Maintaining proper balance in these storage organs is critical, as both iron deficiency and iron overload can disrupt numerous physiological functions.
