Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body, and measuring its levels can help you understand your overall iron status. This test is ideal for those who suspect they may have an iron deficiency or for those who want to monitor their iron levels.
Iron is important in the body because it helps to carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body through the bloodstream. Iron is also responsible for energy production in the body so low levels of iron can make you feel tired and weak. In severe cases, low levels of iron can lead to anaemia, a condition where the body doesn’t have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to the body’s organs and tissues, causing symptoms such as chest pain, rapid heartbeat, and shortness of breath. It can also affect the immune system making it harder for the body to fight off infections.
The Abingdon Simply Test Iron Rapid Test is 95.1% accurate, easy to use and requires just a small sample of blood. The results are simple to read and can help you maintain iron levels that are within a healthier range.
The Abingdon Simply Test Iron (Ferritin) Rapid Test is perfect for use at home. It is CE marked and manufactured to the highest standards, ensuring reliable and accurate results every time. With this test, you can take control of your health and ensure that your iron levels are where they should be.
