It seems to me having more than you need is too much. Every molecule of excess iron increases free radical damage.

For example, ferritin less than 70 ng/ml is iron deficiency. People who have ferritin of 140 ng/ml have higher triglycerides than those who have about 70 ng/ml.

Ferritin is a measure of iron stores. If people in the latter group make just two blood donations, their ferritin gets very close to 70 ng/ml.
