Why test
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.
What our customers say
I bought this test as I was feeling tired, cold, fast heart beat and out of breath. The test was simple and easy. The result showed low ferritin. I booked an appointment with my GP followed by blood tests which revealed that my iron level were low. This test is good and quick. I would highly recommend it.
Very easy to do this rapid test at home and the results were easy to read. Lots of literature to explain the process and results.
My ferratin levels can be a bit all over the place and going to the GP to get a blood test always seems like a lot of effort. This test was so easy. Especially when I know that, for me, all I need is some over the counter ferrous sulphate for a few weeks to get me back on track, this is so quick and easy and gives me more flexibility and control (as well as saving the NHS money) - It's essentially as easy as an at home covid test, but with a drop of blood.

How to use a rapid test
Intended use
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 too little or too much ferritin in your blood, you’ll need a secondary analytical test to confirm your actual levels.
