Can Eisen-Ferritin Selbsttest help with skin aging?

An iron-ferritin self-test measures your iron and ferritin levels, which are important for overall health. Excess iron can promote oxidative stress, theoretically accelerating skin aging. However, there is no direct clinical evidence that such a self-test helps with skin aging. The evidence is mechanistic, not proven. Normal ferritin is needed for many body functions, but skin aging is multifactorial (UV, collagen breakdown, lifestyle). The test can detect deficiency or overload, but it is not an anti-aging tool. If you suspect iron issues, consult a doctor before supplementing. High iron can be harmful (e.g., liver damage, increased diabetes risk).
