Firstly, an iron profile contains several markers that aid in detecting deficiency. Haemoglobin is mainly iron, the top vital mineral. Haemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that distributes oxygen to the tissues.
Why get one?
Deficiency is one of the most common causes of fatigue.
Women lose a certain quantity of blood and iron every month due to menstruation.
Insufficiency is widespread among women of childbearing age.
Insufficiency is more common in vegetarians and vegans.

Iron: helps carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of the body.

Ferritin measures the amount your body stores.
TIBC measures the amount in your blood.

Q: Why is this mineral so important?
A: It is essential to life as it plays an important role in your metabolism, oxygen transport, immune function, and the formation of red blood cells.
Q: Does pregnancy have an impact on my levels?
A: Its needs are also increased because the body uses minerals to make extra blood to transport oxygen for you and your baby during this time. Your body’s blood volume increases by 30-50% during pregnancy.
Q: From what foods can I get it?
A: The rich foods include red meat, beans, dried fruits, cereals, bread, pasta, and pork.
Q: Is the mineral important if I am an active person?

Q: Can I take supplements for it?
A: You need to check first with your GP.
Q: What side effects might I get if I take the supplements?

A: Your heart and lungs can be affected, increasing your risk of infection. Pregnant women may get complications before and after birth.
Q: What is recommended if I have issues?
A: If you have a deficiency, you should test for Iron, Ferritin, and Complete Blood Count.
Q: How is it performed?
A: Our nurse will draw a small blood sample from your arm, clean your skin with an alcohol wipe, and tie a band around your upper arm. This will help her find a vein more easily.
Once she finds a vein, she inserts a needle into a vial and draws the blood needed.
