About

  • Iron is a mineral that is essential for a healthy body. It is an important building block for red blood cells which carry oxygen around our bodies.

  • We get iron from foods such as meat, fish, vegetables and grains.

  • A ferritin test is a helpful test to measure the levels of iron stored in our body. The ferritin test is less reliable with some health conditions such as liver disease, infections, cancer or autoimmune diseases.

  • Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia is caused by a lack of iron and has many causes. Lack of energy is a common symptom.
