The ferritin level is one of the most important laboratory parameters for assessing the body’s iron stores. Ferritin is a protein produced by the body that stores iron and makes it available when needed.
Since iron intake can be influenced by various factors—such as diet, life stage, or individual lifestyle habits—a laboratory test provides a way to objectively assess a person’s iron status.
The ferritin test allows you to determine your ferritin level using a capillary blood sample. The test can be conveniently performed at home and is analyzed by our partner laboratory, GANZIMMUN Diagnostics.
