Does Vibrant offer a marker for Iron Saturation?

Yes. Vibrant offers Transferrin and Ferritin.
 
Saturation can be investigated by looking at two key tests to detect iron overload. According to Mayo Clinic they are:
  • Serum transferrin saturation - This test measures the amount of iron bound to a protein (transferrin) that carries iron in your blood. Transferrin saturation values greater than 45% are considered too high.
  • Serum ferritin - This test measures the amount of iron stored in your liver. If the results of your serum transferrin saturation test are higher than normal, your doctor will check your serum ferritin.
