About this test

If you're feeling constantly tired, weak, or lightheaded, this test checks key markers linked to anaemia and overall blood health. Low iron levels can lead to fatigue and poor oxygen circulation, while a full blood count (FBC) helps assess red and white blood cell levels for signs of anaemia, infection, or other conditions.

Want to go a step further? Add on a qFIT test below to check for hidden bleeding in the gut, a common cause of iron deficiency.
