If you’re feeling tired or fatigued, then you may not be supplying your body with enough iron. Iron is essential in the production of red blood cell formation and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, the normal functioning of the immune system and normal cognitive function.
This test checks your ferritin (stored iron) levels which is the recommended marker to test for iron deficiency.
Your results will be made available through your own personal online dashboard and a member of the BetterYou team will follow up with your bespoke supplementation plan within 2 working days.
