Vitamin B12 is especially needed for the functioning of the nervous system. It is only obtained from animal-based foods, so those who follow a plant-based diet should pay attention to their intake.
Ferritin is a form of iron absorption and storage. It is a good measure of the body’s iron stores, and low ferritin content is a sign of iron deficiency.
Adequate iron intake affects, among other things, energy levels, mood, and overall well-being. As a result of a laboratory package Iron Deficiency Plus, you will receive the most important values related to iron, iron stores, and anemia.
Folate, or folic acid, is a group B vitamin obtained from food. It is an essential nutrient for humans.
The iron absorption test indicates whether you have an iron deficiency and if orally taken iron supplements are absorbed by your body. The test is recommended if there is a suspicion of poor iron absorption. The duration of the test is 2 hours. In addition to the iron absorption test, it includes tests for ferritin, CRP, and complete blood count.
Adequate iron intake affects, among other things, endurance, mood, general well-being, and heart function. In addition to ferritin, two other useful tests have been selected for examining iron deficiency: the inflammation marker CRP and a complete blood count. With Puhti's tests, you can assess the state of your body. When your body is in balance and your lifestyle is in order, you can cope better in everyday life, gain more energy for exercise, and prevent diseases!
Iron is needed for the formation of red blood cells’ hemoglobin. In addition, it acts as a catalyst in many enzyme reactions. An iron test (fP-Fe) is primarily carried out as an additional test when determining the transferrin saturation.
Transferrin is one of the values that describe the body's iron status. Iron is transported to tissues where it is needed with the help of this protein.
Transferrin transports iron in the body to tissues that need it. This test examines the proportion of transferrin that has an iron atom attached.
The transferrin receptor is a recipient molecule for the iron transport protein. It receives the iron transported to the red blood cell, facilitating the transfer of iron into the red blood cell. The concentration of the transferrin receptor in the blood increases in cases of iron deficiency. The S-TfR test is used to detect iron deficiency.
