About this test

  • Fatigue or persistent low energy
  • Weakness or reduced physical endurance
  • Pale or sallow skin
  • Shortness of breath, especially during activity
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Headaches
  • Cold hands and feet
  • Brittle nails or hair thinning
  • Craving for non-food items (e.g. ice, clay – known as pica)
  • Rapid heartbeat or palpitations
  • Difficulty concentrating or mental fog
  • No symptoms at all in mild or early iron deficiency

Recommended for individuals experiencing fatigue, weakness, hair thinning, or other signs of iron deficiency. Ideal for those with restricted diets (e.g. vegetarian or vegan), heavy menstrual bleeding, or digestive conditions that affect iron absorption. Also suitable for people who are pregnant, recovering from illness, or training at high physical intensity—and for anyone taking a proactive approach to monitoring energy levels, red blood cell health, or overall nutritional status.

  • Iron deficiency (mild to severe)
  • Iron deficiency anaemia
  • Chronic fatigue or low energy levels
  • Hair loss or brittle nails related to nutrient depletion
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding with suspected iron loss
  • Poor dietary intake of iron (e.g. vegan or vegetarian diets)
  • Impaired iron absorption (e.g. coeliac disease, IBD, gastric bypass
  • Pregnancy-related increased iron demand
  • Poor growth or developmental delays (in children)
  • Recovery from illness, surgery, or blood loss
  • Nutritional deficiencies due to chronic stress, illness, or restrictive eating patterns
