Are you at high risk of iron-deficiency anaemia, like increased blood loss or dietary deficiency, or do you have symptoms of iron overload, such as diabetes and liver disease?
Iron deficiency is a common cause of tiredness and fatigue. Take a quick and easy test to check your ferritin level and look for iron deficiency.
Low iron levels can leave you feeling constantly tired, weak, and unwell. Our Ferritin Blood Test checks your body's iron stores, helping you understand if you're at risk of iron deficiency or overload.
Measures the amount of ferritin, a protein that stores iron, to help assess your body's iron levels and detect conditions like iron deficiency or overload.
A deficiency in iron is associated with symptoms like extreme fatigue, breathlessness, headaches, difficulty concentrating, muscle and joint pain and weight gain.
This test measures ferritin levels in the blood, correlating directly with total body iron stores. Ferritin is more sensitive at recognising iron deficiency than a simple iron test.
Iron Self-Test is an easy-to-use ferritin at-home test. Ferritin is a blood protein that stores iron within the cells. Ferritin tests are commonly used by doctors to understand how much iron your body stores.
