How it works
This self-test measures the concentration of ferritin in your blood. Ferritin is a protein responsible for storing iron in your body. Because a low ferritin level is often the first indicator of an incipient iron deficiency, this measurement helps in the early identification of an imbalance. As your trusted health partner, VitAdvice supports you in gaining this insight, so that you can optimally manage your vitality.
