Product description

Abingdon Simply Test Iron s an easy to use ferritin self-test. Ferritin is a blood protein that stores iron within the cells. Ferritin tests are commonly used by doctors to understand how much iron your body stores.

Anaemia due to iron depletion is common in men, women and children. The main signs are paleness, feeling tired, headaches, faster heartbeat, or shortness of breath during exercise. They may appear gradually and could go unnoticed. Iron deficiency occurs when blood does not contain enough red blood cells and low levels of haemoglobin. An important component of haemoglobin is iron.
