About this test

How can a vitamins and minerals blood test help you?

Understand whether you're getting the right levels of key nutrients through diet with this blood test. Detecting a vitamin or iron deficiency can help you understand symptoms such as regular sickness, fatigue, irritability, and anxiety.

Combined with a GP report and advice on how to improve or maintain your vitamin & iron levels, we help you understand how to support your internal health.

We recommend taking a blood test every 3 months if you have a deficiency.

What's covered in this blood test?

  • Vitamin D: Vitamin D plays an essential role in your long-term health, particularly your bone health. It's also important for a strong immune system and is linked to your sleep, energy levels, and mood.
  • Vitamin B9 and B12 (active): An active vitamin B9 and B12 test measures the amount of vitamin B12 your body can actually use. It's essential for a healthy brain and nervous system. Both vitamins are linked to sleep, mood, and heart health.
  • Advanced iron profile: Your body uses iron to make haemoglobin - a part of red blood cells that carries oxygen around your body. If you don't get enough iron you might develop iron deficiency anaemia. Tiredness, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations are signs you might be deficient.
