Designed to detect ferritin levels in the blood, this test represents the ultimate tell-tale tool for iron deficiency. With results appearing within just 5 minutes, our at-home iron test should be used when experiencing those niggling symptoms of anaemia, from cold feet, brittle nails, and severe fatigue to shortness of breath and headaches, to name a few.

Self-test for the detection of ferritin levels in whole blood samples

Iron is an essential metal for our bodies and is crucial for transporting oxygen in the blood, for cell multiplication and to build the structure of tissues and organs. However, in excessively high levels it is toxic for the body. For this reason, every one of us has a system for taking up iron from the external environment (e.g. via a diet rich in iron-containing foods) and storing it in cells in a way that is not excessive (and therefore not toxic). Ferritin is the protein responsible for this storage function. The level of ferritin is an excellent indicator of the amount of iron available to the body. Low levels of this protein in the blood are an indication of depleted iron stores, a condition that precedes the development of anaemia. A decrease can be caused by pregnancy, haemorrhages, alterations in iron uptake.

IRON FER TEST is useful for checking the body’s iron reserves.
