What is a Vitamin and Mineral Blood Test?
Effect Doctor’s in-depth Vitamin and Mineral blood test helps you to understand if your diet is supporting your health.
You might have symptoms of a vitamin or mineral deficiency such as low energy or frequent colds. Deficiencies are more common if you follow any dietary restrictions, such as a plant-based or a gluten-free diet.
Our test checks your levels of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, B9 (folic acid), vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, calcium and your iron stores. It provides insights that can help you take steps to optimise your nutrition.
Vitamins are your body’s vital building blocks, essential for every bodily function.
Understanding Vitamin Deficiency
While you should normally be able to achieve optimal vitamin levels from a healthy diet and lifestyle, many common conditions and situations may lead to a vitamin deficiency:
- Bowel inflammation leading to poor absorption of vitamins
- Diet that is deficient in fruit and vegetables
- Excess intake of alcohol
- Vegan diet
- Excessive exercise
Even mild vitamin deficiency can have wide-ranging effects on your physical and mental health:
- Always tired
- Easily fatigued
- Low energy
- Poor concentration
- Being prone to illness
- Feeling weak
You will have a consultation with one of our clinicians, who will go over your medical history, and your blood pressure will be reviewed.
Within 7-10 working days, you will have a doctor’s report and the opportunity to discuss the results with one of our Doctors who can advise you on any issues identified and how we can help to further support you on your wellness journey.
