Health check Iron deficiency gives you insight into your iron value, your iron stores and at the same time your blood status. The test can give you an indication of why you are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue and lack of energy.

Iron deficiency is common and mainly affects more women and children than men. Iron is a mineral substance that the body absorbs through the food that is used to form hemoglobin. At low values of iron, it becomes more difficult for the body to produce hemoglobin (HB), which in turn transports oxygen in the body. Other symptoms of iron deficiency are also characterized by dizziness, palpitations, headaches or that you become short of breath when exerting yourself.
