What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing persistent fatigue, low energy, mood changes, or difficulty concentrating that might be linked to nutritional gaps. It helps identify vitamin and mineral deficiencies that can affect everything from your immune system to your energy levels and mental clarity. Many people use this test when they suspect their diet isn't giving them everything they need or when symptoms suggest hidden deficiencies.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your vitamin and nutrient levels mean for your energy, immune function, and overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary adjustments, specific supplement suggestions, and lifestyle changes to address any deficiencies. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your nutrient levels over time using our trends feature to see how your diet and supplementation are working.

What's included in this test?

This comprehensive panel measures Vitamin C, Vitamin A (Retinol), Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy), Vitamin K, Vitamin B12, Folate (Folic Acid), Iron (Serum), Ferritin, Complete Blood Count (CBC with Differential and Platelets), and Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (includes eGFR with electrolytes, liver enzymes, kidney function, and glucose). This extensive panel evaluates your nutritional status by checking essential vitamins that impact energy production, immune function, bone health, and blood formation. It also assesses how well your body is absorbing and utilizing these nutrients through metabolic markers and complete blood analysis. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of nutritional deficiencies that may be causing fatigue, weakness, poor immunity, or other health concerns.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood collection, drinking only water during this time. Schedule your appointment in the morning since iron levels naturally decrease throughout the day. Stop taking biotin supplements at least 72 hours before testing, avoid vitamin C supplements and fruits for 24 hours prior, and refrain from eating liver or taking multivitamins or vitamin K for 24 hours before collection. If you're on medications like methotrexate, consult with your doctor as they may interfere with folate testing.

When will I get my results?

Your results will typically be available within 7 business days after your sample is collected. If any confirmation testing is needed for specific markers, the turnaround time may be extended slightly. You'll be notified as soon as your complete results are ready to view.

Who should consider this test?

This test is perfect for anyone experiencing unexplained fatigue, frequent illness, slow wound healing, or poor concentration that might stem from nutritional gaps. It's especially valuable for people with restrictive diets (vegan, vegetarian), digestive issues that affect nutrient absorption, older adults at risk for deficiencies, or anyone wanting to optimize their nutrition for fitness and anti-aging goals. Athletes and active individuals can also benefit from understanding their nutritional baseline.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs of nutritional deficiencies include persistent tiredness despite adequate sleep, frequent infections or slow healing, brittle hair and nails, pale skin, brain fog or difficulty concentrating, muscle weakness, mood changes or irritability, and unexplained weight changes. If you're experiencing several of these symptoms, especially after ruling out other causes, nutritional deficiencies could be contributing factors worth investigating.

How can I naturally improve my vitamin levels?

Focus on eating a diverse, colorful diet rich in whole foods like leafy greens, citrus fruits, fatty fish, nuts, seeds, and lean proteins. Get 15-20 minutes of sunlight daily for vitamin D production, and include fermented foods for better nutrient absorption. Reduce processed foods and excessive alcohol which can deplete vitamins, manage stress through adequate sleep and exercise, and consider cooking in cast iron pans to boost iron intake naturally.

What does low iron or ferritin mean?

Low iron or ferritin indicates your body doesn't have enough iron stores, which can lead to iron-deficiency anemia. This causes fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, cold hands and feet, and difficulty concentrating because your blood can't carry enough oxygen to your tissues. Common causes include inadequate dietary intake, heavy menstrual periods, pregnancy, digestive issues affecting absorption, or chronic blood loss.

How often should I retest my vitamin levels?

If you're addressing a deficiency with supplements or diet changes, retest in 8-12 weeks to see if your interventions are working. Once your levels are optimal, annual testing is recommended to ensure you're maintaining good nutritional status. If you have ongoing symptoms, digestive issues, or dietary restrictions, you may benefit from testing every 6 months to catch deficiencies early.
