Discover your nutritional gaps and take the guesswork out of your diet with this science-backed panel. You’ll measure the levels of six key vitamins (folate, vitamin A, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E), and three essential minerals (iodine, magnesium, and zinc), and ferritin, a protein that reflects stored iron levels in the body.
Preparation: Fast for 12 hours (no food or drink, except water). It is recommended to avoid alcohol intake for 24 hours prior to testing. If you’re taking a supplement containing biotin (also called vitamin B7 or B8, vitamin H or coenzyme R), commonly found in products promoting nail, skin and hair health, we recommend that you wait at least 72 hours from your last dose before taking the test.
