BenefitsBenefits of the Ferritin Test
Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency globally. One in three people around the globe suffers from iron deficiency. The symptoms are very diverse and often do not point towards this suspected diagnosis. Therefore, this deficiency is often diagnosed relatively late. Iron carries oxygen in the blood to all of the body’s cells, which means it is vital for the metabolism of energy in the cells. Iron levels that are too low will thus lead to poor oxygen supply amongst cells in the organs such as the brain, but also in the muscles.
Symptoms of iron deficiency
- Increased tiredness and fatigue
- Headaches and dizziness
- Poor physical and cognitive performance
- Dry skin, cracks at the corner of the mouth
