Detect a possible iron deficiency early – for more energy and well-being.
The iron test gives you detailed insights into your iron status and helps you to identify possible deficiencies early on. Iron is an essential nutrient for oxygen transport in the blood, cell function and energy metabolism. A deficiency can manifest itself in symptoms such as persistent fatigue, concentration problems, hair loss or increased susceptibility to infections.
Why is iron so important?
Iron plays a central role in the formation of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Without enough iron, your body cannot deliver enough oxygen to the organs and muscles, leading to fatigue and reduced performance. Women, athletes, and people on a vegetarian or vegan diet are particularly at risk of iron deficiency.
