Keep your iron levels in check with our accessible at-home iron test.

Ferritin

Ferritin is a protein that contains iron and is the primary form of iron stored inside of cells. The small amount of ferritin that is released and circulates in the blood is a reflection of the total amount of iron stored in the body. This test measures the amount of ferritin in the blood. Insufficient levels of circulating and stored iron may eventually lead to iron deficiency anemia (decreased hemoglobin). In the early stage of iron deficiency, no physical effects are usually seen and the amount of iron stored may be significantly depleted before any signs or symptoms of iron deficiency develop. If a person is otherwise healthy and anemia develops over a long period of time, symptoms seldom appear before the hemoglobin in the blood drops below the lower limit of normal.

However, as the iron-deficiency progresses, symptoms eventually begin to appear. The most common symptoms of iron deficiency anemia include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, headaches and pale skin.

It’s no easy task getting tested for iron deficiency through the traditional healthcare system. Sometimes you have to wait weeks and months for an appointment with your doctor and clinic wait times are on the rise. So how do you get to the root of your fatigue symptoms?

Testing for low iron at home is now easier than ever thanks to our iron and transferrin blood test. Individuals can quickly test for a variety of conditions, including iron deficiency.

Our iron deficiency test takes seconds to complete and will provide you with actionable results in only days. Here’s how it works:

• Order the test now -- and wait for it to arrive (usually within days)
• Follow the instructions and obtain a blood sample
• Send the blood sample back to our lab for analysis
• We’ll analyze the blood sample and provide you with confidential and accurate test results through our online nurse
• Take advantage of our additional medical support with online doctors following your diagnosis

Low iron levels can result in decreased hemoglobin. Symptoms can include anemia, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, headaches, and pale skin. However, these symptoms can take some time to appear as a decrease in hemoglobin is a slow process.

Using our at-home iron test can help you detect low iron levels before they become a problem.

Don’t wait until your iron levels are too low. Early detection can help you spot anemia and low hemoglobin levels so you can correct them right away.

Our at-home iron test is easy to use and provides you with flexible access to the healthcare services that you need. With our at-home tests, you never have to worry about wasting a day off or waiting for hours at the doctor’s office.
