Not a good test for iron deficiency
I bought their rapid iron deficiency test. I should have done a little research first. I'm not sure how accurate their test is, but even if it's 100% accurate, you can still be iron deficient using this test. Their test considers a ferritin of above 30 to be non deficient. In reality, a ferritin of less than 30 is absolute iron deficiency. You can still be iron deficient with a ferritin of less than 100. I guess it's ok for people with absolute iron deficiency but if you're slightly above the 30 mark you will incorrectly think your iron is fine when it isn't.
