What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, low energy, weakness, or suspect you might have vitamin or mineral deficiencies. It helps identify nutritional imbalances that could be affecting your energy levels, immune function, muscle strength, and overall wellness. Many people use this test when they feel run down despite getting enough sleep or want to optimize their nutrition for better health and vitality.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your vitamin and mineral levels mean for your energy, immunity, and overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary changes, supplement suggestions, or lifestyle adjustments 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 panel measures Methylmalonic Acid, Vitamin B12, Ferritin, Folate (RBC), Iron (Total), Magnesium, Vitamin D (25-OH Total, D2, and D3), Zinc, and includes a Complete Blood Count (CBC) with differential and platelets, plus a Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (CMP) with eGFR measuring electrolytes (Chloride, Potassium, Sodium, Calcium), kidney markers (Creatinine, BUN, eGFR), liver enzymes (ALT, AST, Alkaline Phosphatase, Bilirubin), proteins (Albumin, Globulin, Total Protein), and Glucose. This comprehensive panel evaluates essential vitamins including B12, folate, and vitamin D which are crucial for energy production, red blood cell formation, and bone health. It measures important minerals like iron, ferritin, magnesium, and zinc that support oxygen transport, immune function, muscle performance, and hormone regulation. The panel also includes a Complete Blood Count (CBC) to assess anemia and a Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (CMP) to check electrolytes, kidney and liver function, glucose, and protein levels, giving you a complete picture of your nutritional status and how deficiencies may be impacting your health.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages except water. Schedule your test in the morning if possible, as iron levels can decrease by 30% throughout the day. Stop taking biotin supplements at least 72 hours before testing, and avoid multivitamins containing folic acid for three to five days prior to collection. If you're taking prescribed vitamins, consult your doctor before stopping them.

When will I get my results?

You can expect your results within approximately 5 business days after your blood sample is collected. If any confirmatory testing is needed for specific biomarkers, the turnaround time may be extended slightly. You'll be notified as soon as your results are ready to view in your account.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is ideal for people experiencing constant tiredness, weakness, or low energy despite adequate rest. It's also valuable for those with dietary restrictions (vegetarians, vegans), people with digestive issues that may affect nutrient absorption, athletes wanting to optimize performance, or anyone concerned about their nutritional status. If you have pale skin, brittle nails, hair loss, muscle cramps, or frequent illness, this test can help identify underlying vitamin or mineral deficiencies.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms of vitamin and mineral deficiencies include persistent fatigue, weakness, difficulty concentrating, pale skin, frequent headaches, and muscle cramps. You might also experience brittle nails, hair loss, tingling in hands or feet, mood changes, or getting sick more often than usual. If you notice any combination of these symptoms, especially fatigue that doesn't improve with rest, testing your nutrient levels can help identify the root cause.

How can I naturally improve my vitamin and mineral levels?

Focus on eating a diverse, colorful diet rich in whole foods including leafy greens, lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. For vitamin D, spend 10-15 minutes in sunlight daily and include fatty fish like salmon in your diet. Iron absorption improves when you eat vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits alongside iron sources. Reduce caffeine and alcohol intake as they can interfere with nutrient absorption, and consider cooking in cast iron pans to boost iron intake naturally.

What is ferritin and why does it matter?

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in your body, acting as your iron reserves. Unlike a standard iron test that shows circulating iron, ferritin reveals how much iron your body has stored for future use. Low ferritin is often the first sign of iron deficiency, even before anemia develops, and can cause fatigue, weakness, and difficulty concentrating. Checking ferritin alongside iron gives a complete picture of your iron status.

What does low vitamin B12 mean?

Low vitamin B12 can cause fatigue, weakness, numbness or tingling in hands and feet, difficulty concentrating, and mood changes. B12 is essential for red blood cell formation, nerve function, and DNA production. Deficiency is common in vegetarians and vegans since B12 comes primarily from animal products, older adults due to decreased absorption, and people with digestive conditions like Crohn's disease or celiac disease.

How often should I retest my vitamin and nutrient levels?

If you have deficiencies and start supplementation or dietary changes, retest in 8-12 weeks to see if your interventions are working. Once your levels are optimized, testing every 6-12 months is reasonable for monitoring, especially if you have absorption issues or dietary restrictions. If you're generally healthy and testing for baseline knowledge, annual testing is sufficient to track trends and catch deficiencies early.
