Iron Test

Vitamins and minerals

The Iron Test is a focused assessment designed to evaluate iron status, iron-binding capacity and the efficiency of iron transport in the body. This panel helps identify iron deficiency, iron overload, fatigue-related issues, anemia patterns and nutritional imbalances. It measures serum iron, total iron-binding capacity and transferrin saturation, providing a clear picture of iron availability and storage.

A DHA-licensed nurse collects your blood sample at your home, office, hotel, or preferred location, using sterile, single use equipment.

Results are delivered securely via email only, ensuring full privacy.

Parameters: Iron (Serum), TIBC, % Transferrin Saturation
