Why should you test

Genetic predisposition to haemochromatosis, a condition that causes iron overload, is often missed, with only 1 in 5,000 ever diagnosed. Symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, palpitations or stomach discomfort could be signs of iron overload. With early testing, it’s possible to treat the condition before it causes serious health problems. Our easy-to-use haemochromatosis test looks for key changes in the HFE gene. If you have a family history, it’s a smart step for both you and your loved ones.
