Blood Iron Test
Check Your Iron Levels to Support Energy, Focus, and Health
Iron is essential for carrying oxygen through your bloodstream and powering your body’s energy levels. But both low and high iron levels can lead to serious health issues — from fatigue and dizziness to organ stress and inflammation. The Blood Iron Test is a simple at-home blood test that provides a comprehensive look at your body’s iron status, helping you identify whether your symptoms could be linked to an iron imbalance.
Whether you’re feeling unusually tired, managing heavy periods, or simply want to check your levels, this test gives you the clarity you need to take action.
What’s Measured?
Ferritin
Reflects your body’s iron storage — low levels suggest deficiency; high levels may indicate inflammation or overload.
Transferrin Saturation
Shows how much iron is being transported in your blood — an important marker of bioavailable iron.
Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)
Measures your blood’s capacity to bind and carry iron — elevated in deficiency, low in overload.
Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC)
Reveals how much iron-binding space is still available in your blood — useful for diagnosing absorption or storage issues.
What You'll Discover
This test analyses four critical markers that work together to give a complete picture of your iron balance. Ferritin measures your stored iron — often the earliest indicator of iron deficiency or overload. Transferrin Saturation reveals the percentage of iron actively being transported in your blood, showing how well iron is being utilised. Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) reflects your blood’s capacity to carry iron, while Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC) shows how much space is left for iron transport — useful in understanding absorption issues or overload.
By looking at all four markers together, this test offers a far more accurate and informative assessment than simply checking serum iron alone.
Why Take This Test?
Iron imbalances are incredibly common and often go undiagnosed. Low iron can cause symptoms like fatigue, pale skin, shortness of breath, or poor concentration, while high iron levels can lead to joint pain, liver issues, or cardiovascular strain. This test is ideal for women with heavy periods, vegetarians or vegans, athletes, or anyone recovering from illness or surgery.
It’s also valuable if you're taking iron supplements and want to ensure they’re working — or to avoid potential overload.
