Below are some things to look for that can be signs of a Ferrum phos deficiency. These include general signs as well as emotional and facial things to look for.

This is a brief list as there are so many things that ferrum phos is helpful for. I have used ferrum phos especially for helping with iron levels and issues associated with low iron levels. It was extremely helpful postpartum when I lost a lot of blood and needed to get my blood supply back up.
