About this test

Check on your vitamin and mineral levels

This at-home test will measure the levels of key nutrients in your blood to help you identify any areas that need attention.

Why test

Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients that help our bodies function properly. If we don't get enough of these nutrients through our diet and lifestyle, or if our bodies can't absorb and transport them effectively, it can affect our energy levels, immunity, and overall health.

These vitamins explored in this test have different but important functions.

Low levels of iron, folate or vitamin B12 may lead to anemia and symptoms such as tiredness, low energy levels or shortness of breath. Whereas low levels of vitamin D can lead to problems such as bone pain or muscle aches.

Our Vitamins & Minerals Blood Test was created by healthcare professionals to screen for nutrient deficiencies, and share clear next steps to help you strive to keep healthy, and reduce your risk of you developing serious health concerns in the future.

What's included

  • C-reactive protein (CRP) - Explore your CRP levels as an early screen for inflammation in your body.
  • Iron (ferritin) - Identify your iron levels which could be causing symptoms of fatigue.
  • Folate - Check on your folate levels which could be causing an impact on your energy levels.
  • Vitamin B12 active - Explore your vitamin B12 levels to check if you need to alter your diet.
  • Vitamin D - Uncover whether you have a vitamin D deficiency and receive advice on how to optimise your nutrition.
