You can check your iron levels at home using an at-home iron test kit. These kits are available online and at local pharmacies. To use the kit, you will need to perform a finger prick and collect a blood sample. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. You will receive the results of your test within a few days.
Here are some popular at-home iron test kits:
- LetsGetChecked Iron Test: A simple finger prick test that can help determine if you are at risk of iron deficiency.
- Lab.me Iron Test: A venous blood draw test that measures your ferritin levels, iron levels, and other indicators of iron deficiency.
- Cerascreen Iron Test: A finger prick test that provides an assessment of your iron status.
- Pixel by Lacorp Iron Test: A comprehensive iron test that measures multiple iron-related biomarkers.
Remember that at-home iron tests are not as accurate as laboratory tests. If you have any concerns about your iron levels, you should consult with your doctor.
