Iron is an essential mineral that's key to your health. You need it to make your red blood cells and for a strong immune system. But iron deficiency is really common.
Some of us are at particularly high risk of iron deficiency:
With iron deficiency you can have no symptoms at all or feel tired and run-down and be more prone to infections.
Our Quick and Easy Iron Deficiency Test is a simple finger-prick blood test to measure the levels of the biomarker ferritin. Low ferritin is caused by iron deficiency.
Iron is essential for your red blood cells and immune system. Iron deficiency is the commonest mineral deficiency in the UK, particularly if you're on a plant-based diet or are a woman before the menopause.
WHAT'S MEASURED?
This test measures the level of ferritin in your blood. Ferritin is a biomarker of your body's iron stores and a low ferritin can mean that you're iron deficient. A normal ferritin level makes iron deficiency very unlikely.
