Symptoms of fatigue or difficulty concentrating? Test your iron levels
A deficiency in iron is associated with symptoms like extreme fatigue, breathlessness, headaches, difficulty concentrating, muscle and joint pain and weight gain. This quick test is a way to check your iron levels using a blood sample and gain access to information to help you decide what to do next.
Symptoms such as fatigue, heart palpitations, pale skin and breathlessness are associated with iron deficiency. However, not everyone may experience symptoms. If left untreated, iron deficiency can become more severe and lead to anaemia.
Low iron levels may also be the first sign of a more significant health issue such as stomach ulcer or coeliac disease. By taking this test it may help you avoid serious health issues in the future by spotting a potential deficiency now.
This test has been designed by healthcare professionals to give you a good indication if your iron (ferritin) levels are normal (>30ng/ml) or abnormal (<30ng/ml). You also have the option to access doctor-led recommendations on the next steps you could take.
This test can be used to screen for current levels of your iron using a simple home blood test. It has been produced by medical experts to give you a semi-quantitative analytical result. This means that while it will give you a good indication of whether you have normal or abnormal levels of ferritin in your blood, you'll need a secondary analytical test to confirm your actual levels.

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.
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.
