Silex Iron Deficiency Selftest - 1 Pack

The Silex Iron Deficiency Self-Test is an early screening tool for Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA). By testing your blood's ferritin level through a simple finger prick, this test can detect low levels of haemoglobin and red blood cells, which can cause symptoms such as fatigue and exercise intolerance. Don't let iron deficiency impact your energy and overall health.

Iron is used to make haemoglobin which is found in red blood cells. Haemoglobin is important for carrying oxygen around the body. If you don't have enough haemoglobin then your body is not going to get the oxygen it requires to function at its best. This low level of haemoglobin/red blood cells is called anaemia. Iron is also important for the healthy growth of hair, skin and nails. 

If you are iron deficient, then you can experience a wide variety of symptoms. These include: 

Tiredness 
Becoming fatigued quickly during exercise.
Looking pale 
Memory problems 
Brittle hair and nails 
Poor concentration 
Getting out of breath quicker than normal 
Slow wound healing
