Identify crucial vitamin & mineral deficiencies
Feeling tired, foggy, or simply not quite yourself is easy to put down to stress, sleep, or a busy week. The difficulty is that low vitamin or mineral status can be subtle, and symptoms are often non-specific.
This test measures markers linked to iron stores, active vitamin B12, folate (vitamin B9), and calcium status, so you can see whether a shortfall could be contributing. It gives you a clear baseline, and a way to check whether changes to diet or supplements are actually working.
If you want objective clarity rather than guesswork, this is a practical test to run now and repeat over time.

What the Vitamin & Minerals test is for
Feeling tired, foggy, or not quite yourself is easy to blame on stress, sleep, or a busy week. The problem is that low vitamin or mineral status can be subtle, and symptoms are often non-specific. This home blood test helps you move from guesswork to evidence by checking key markers linked to nutrient status and how your body is using them.
Using a home test kit for testing from home, this panel looks at iron stores (via ferritin), active vitamin B12 and folate (vitamin B9), along with calcium status, including adjusted calcium and the supporting protein marker albumin. Together, these results can indicate whether a shortfall might be contributing to low energy or whether your levels look broadly adequate, giving you a clearer baseline for decisions about diet and supplementation.
If you are already taking supplements, this test can also help you assess whether your current approach is shifting the markers that matter, so any changes you make are based on data rather than hope. It is also useful as a repeatable check over time, particularly during life stages or situations where requirements can change.

It is also useful if you are over 45, menopausal, or at risk of osteoporosis and want objective clarity on markers linked to bone and mineral status.

It is a practical fit if you follow a restrictive diet, including vegetarian or vegan, and want to confirm you are meeting nutritional needs.

Albumin (ALB) is a protein produced by the liver and is the most abundant protein in the blood.
It transports components throughout the body, nourishes tissues & prevents blood vessel leakage.
Albumin is highly sensitive to liver damage so lower levels can indicate when the liver is damaged.
Many other factors also affect albumin levels, such as malnutrition, acute illnesses and inflammation.
