New Japanese menstrual product addresses women's iron deficiency detection.
A new, easy-to-use test kit detects hidden iron deficiency in menstrual blood, helping women identify and address low iron levels.
Check this out: a new test kit can spot hidden iron deficiency using your menstrual blood, and it’s super easy to use. Ever feel like you’re dragging yourself out of bed, even after a solid night’s sleep? Or zoning out at work? Sure, stress and sleep issues are usual suspects, but there could be a hidden player: iron deficiency. It’s particularly common in menstruating women, manifesting as “hidden anemia,” where hemoglobin levels look fine, but stored iron levels are low. This can lead to symptoms like fatigue and headaches that often get brushed off.
Enter the Sofy Menstrual Blood Iron Deficiency Check Kit from Unicharm. You can find it at select retailers and online. The kit comes with special sheets that layer on your sanitary pad—no spills even with a heavy flow. Just like a pregnancy test, drop some blood on it, and watch for lines: one line means potential deficiency, two means it’s less likely. Did you know that about 65% of Japanese women in their 20s to 40s struggle with anemia or hidden anemia, yet most don’t even suspect iron deficiency? This kit aims to change that, helping women identify issues and take action to feel better.
