How does fatigue arise?
Tiredness is a symptom, not a condition. Almost everyone knows the feeling of feeling weak and exhausted for weeks or even months. We often blame this exhaustion on stress, lack of sleep or the hustle and bustle of everyday life - and ignore it because we think we don't have time to deal with it. But what if the tiredness doesn't go away on its own?
The fact is: constant tiredness often has clear causes that we don't just have to accept. Rather, it is a signal from the body that something is wrong. The good news is that nowadays we have simple ways to get to the bottom of it - even if time is short. Blood tests from Probatix offer you the opportunity to quickly and conveniently take the first step to regaining your energy.
In this article, you will learn what could be behind your fatigue and how you can get fit and productive again with a targeted approach.

Why am I constantly tired?
Fatigue is a non-specific symptom that can have many causes. Here are the most common reasons that can be checked by simple blood tests:
1. Thyroid problems
The thyroid is your body's powerhouse - if it produces too few hormones, many processes run on low power. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) often leads to exhaustion, listlessness and weight gain. The Thyroid Check Plus allows you to reliably analyze thyroid values and other relevant hormones.
2. Iron deficiency and anemia
Iron deficiency is one of the most common causes of chronic fatigue. Iron is essential for transporting oxygen in the blood - a deficiency means that your cells cannot produce enough energy. The Probatix Premium Check examines your iron and ferritin levels and uncovers any deficiencies.
3. Chronic stress and burnout
Long-term stress exhausts the body and can upset the balance of hormones such as cortisol. A permanently elevated or too low cortisol level is a common cause of lack of energy. The burnout stress check helps you to understand your stress level and deal with it better.
4. Hormonal imbalances in men
For men, a testosterone deficiency can be the cause of tiredness and lack of motivation. The hormone plays a central role in energy, muscle strength and well-being. The Testosterone Test Plus precisely analyzes whether your levels are within the healthy range.
5. Nutrient deficiencies
Vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B12, vitamin D and folic acid are essential for a well-functioning metabolism. The comprehensive health check provides an overview of your nutrient status and shows whether there is a deficiency.
Why blood tests can be the key
Many people carry their symptoms around with them for a long time - not because they don't know that something is wrong, but because they shy away from the effort of getting it clarified. Doctor's appointments, waiting times and complicated procedures often prevent people from taking action. But this is exactly where Probatix comes in:
