Iron Test for Women – Determine Your Ferritin Value & a Possible Iron Deficiency – Easy & Convenient from Home by CLIA-Certified Lab – Verisana

About 25% of the world's population is affected by an iron deficiency. Women of childbearing age are particularly affected. Women have twice the iron demand of men. The increased iron demand in women is caused by menstruation, pregnancy and lactation. A deficiency quickly develops and can have serious consequences. Our Iron Deficiency Test for Women measures your Ferritin level easily and conveniently, with a sample collected from the comfort of your home. What complaints can be caused by an iron deficiency? Brittle nails Hair loss Torn corners of the mouth Lack of efficiency Pale skin Shortness of breath Who is at increased risk for iron deficiency? Women of childbearing age People with intestinal problems (and thus impaired absorption of nutrients from the intestine) Vegetarians / Vegans Athletes How does the test work? After ordering, a test kit will be delivered to you. You take the samples comfortably at home and then send them back to the laboratory. After the analysis, the results of your measurement will be available in your online account and you will receive an email notification. What is Ferritin? The human body stores about three to five grams of iron. Because free iron is toxic to the organism, iron stored in cells is coated by a protein complex called ferritin. Since a small amount of ferritin passes into the blood, ferritin determination helps to detect iron deficiency in the body. If your ferritin level is severely low, your iron storages are depleted.
