Iron Saturation
Iron Saturation is a clinical biomarker on the Nutrients panel, reported in %. Standard reference range: 15–55 %. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: 30–40 %.
What is Iron Saturation?
Iron saturation (transferrin saturation) measures the percentage of transferrin binding sites occupied by iron, reflecting the balance between iron supply and demand.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (%) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (lab) | 15–55 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | 30–40 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets Iron Saturation
SomaVue maps every result for Iron Saturation against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
