Ferritin test
Ferritin test – check your iron status quickly and easily at your pharmacy
Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies and can cause fatigue, weakness, and concentration problems. With a ferritin test at your pharmacy, you can quickly and conveniently check your iron status – with or without an appointment, and with personal consultation.
Why is a ferritin test important?
Ferritin is a protein complex that stores iron, and its level correlates with the amount of iron in the body. Iron deficiency often remains undetected for a long time but can cause fatigue, reduced performance, or hair loss. A ferritin test shows whether your iron levels are within the normal range.

The test is particularly recommended for:
- Women of childbearing age

How does the ferritin test work at your pharmacy?
