About this test

Our Iron Deficiency Home Test Kit makes it easy to check if your iron stores might be low—all from the comfort of home. This simple test measures ferritin, the protein that stores iron in your body, giving you a quick indication of whether your levels could be insufficient.

Iron plays a crucial role in oxygen transport, energy production, and immune function.

When ferritin is low, it can lead to symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, breathlessness, and lethargy—common signs of iron deficiency. Vegans, vegetarians, and those with heavy periods may be at higher risk due to lower dietary iron intake or increased iron loss.

With a clear two-line result cassette, this highly sensitive test gives you an easy-to-read indication of whether your iron stores could be low. If your results suggest low ferritin, it may be worth discussing with a healthcare professional to determine if further testing or dietary changes are needed.

You can also buy this test as part of our Fatigue Bundle.

How to use this test

1
Prepare for the test
Bring the pouch with the test cassette inside to room temperature. Do not open it until you’ve washed your hands with soap and rinsed thoroughly with warm water.Now, proceed to open the pouch, removing the cassette.
2
Prepare the lancet
Remove the clear plastic cap from the lancet. The lancet is single-use, so be careful not to fire it early.For best results, you should use your middle finger for the sample. Clean your fingertip using the alcohol pad.
3
Collect the blood sample
From the side where the cap was, firmly press the lancet against your fingertip to draw blood. Massage the finger, keeping your hand down.Without squeezing the bulb, gently put the capillary dropper in contact with the edge of the blood drop. The blood should be drawn into the bulb automatically. Fill it up to the black line, avoiding air bubbles.
4
Transfer the blood sample
Squeezing the dropper bulb, transfer the blood you’ve collected into the well marked ‘S’ on the cassette.
Wait for the blood sample to be completely dispensed into the cassette.
5
Apply the solution & wait
After the blood sample is completely transferred, unscrew the cap of the buffer solution bottle. Add 1 drop of the solution into the ‘S’ well on the cassette.
You should leave the test to develop and wait for 5 minutes. Ensure you’ve waited exactly 5 minutes, as waiting longer may invalidate your results.
6
Read & interpret the results
If no line appears at ‘C’, even if there’s a line at ‘T’, you haven’t performed the test correctly. Please purchase another kit and repeat.
If two lines appear, the ferritin levels in your blood are normal, and you’re unlikely to be iron deficient.
If one line appears at ‘C’, the ferritin levels in your blood are too low. You may be iron deficient, so consult a doctor at your earliest convenience.
