What you need to know about our Quick & Easy Iron Deficiency Test
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:
- People on plant-based diets: one of the main sources of iron is meat. If you eat little or no meat you're at high risk of deficiency.
- Women before the menopause: losing iron with your monthly cycle can often lead to iron deficiency - particularly if periods are heavy.
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.
What's tested in the Quick & Easy Iron Deficiency Test?
Iron Deficiency

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.
We do not recommend using this test panel if you:
