you didn't mention your age or sex which is important in finding out the causes of low iron and ferritin. In young women - menstruation plus low iron in diet are the causes. in older men - gastrointestinal problems (either gastric ulcer or abnormalities in the colon) might be the cause. In any case, its important to take iron supplementation parallel to finding out the reason for the iron deficiency
