Iron plays a crucial role in your body, helping to transport oxygen and maintain energy levels. Low iron levels can lead to fatigue, weakness, and other health issues, while too much iron can also be harmful. The Blood Iron Test gives you a clear picture of your body’s iron status by measuring four important iron-related biomarkers.
What Does the Test Do?
This test measures key markers like ferritin, transferrin saturation, and both Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) and Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC), providing insights into your iron levels and how well your body is managing iron. Knowing these levels can help you take action if you're feeling tired or noticing other signs of iron imbalance.
How It Works:
- Collect a small blood sample at home using the kit provided.
- Register your kit online and mail your sample to our lab with prepaid postage.
- In 3 weeks, receive a detailed report on your iron levels and related markers, helping you understand whether you have an iron deficiency or excess.
What’s in Your Health Report?
Your report covers four key iron markers:
- Ferritin: A measure of stored iron in your body.
- Transferrin Saturation: The percentage of iron being transported in the blood.
- Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC): Shows your blood's ability to bind and transport iron.
- Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC): Indicates the available space in your blood to carry iron.
Why Take the Test?
- Check for Iron Deficiency or Overload: Understand if your iron levels are too low or too high, which can affect your energy and health.
- Personalized Health Insights: Get a comprehensive overview of how well your body is managing iron.
- Take Action: Use your results to discuss iron-related health concerns with your doctor, whether it’s an iron deficiency, iron overload, or related condition.
Requirements:
For accurate results, it's important to fast for 12 hours before the test. Also, avoid taking non-prescribed iron or biotin supplements for 3 days before testing.
