What´s measured
We will measure 5 parameters as part of the mineral test.
Magnesium
Magnesium is a mineral that is related to the metabolism of bones, muscles, intestines, kidneys and is involved, along with other minerals, in maintaining the balance of the internal environment. It helps the proper function of a large number of enzymes.
Copper
Copper is a component of enzymes and is also involved in blood iron levels.
Zinc
Zinc is an essential mineral needed for cellular immunity function, collagen formation and sperm development. It is also an important mineral for skin health, affecting wound healing, cell division rate, proliferation and regeneration. Zinc is necessary for muscle growth and body development as it plays an important role in cell growth and division.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus is a mineral that, along with other minerals in the body, forms organic and inorganic compounds necessary for proper muscle function, nervous system function, bone and tooth growth, and ensuring acid-base balance. It is a component of nucleic acids and enzymes, including ATP. In bones it is found in the form of hydroxyapatite. Only about 1% of phosphate is found in the blood and its level correlates with calcium in an inverse/inverted ratio. Phosphate levels are also closely related to parathyroid hormone and vitamin D levels.
Selenium
Selenium is an important trace element, called a trace element. It is essential for the body and must be taken in through food. The selenium content of plant food depends on the selenium content of the soil, which varies considerably. In Europe, the selenium content of the soil and thus of most plant food is relatively low. Selenium deficiency does not manifest itself in a specific disease, but it affects almost all the basic mechanisms of the organism. Selenium is a component of enzymes and is involved in a number of reactions in the body. As a component of antioxidant enzymes, it is important for protecting the body from cell damage by free radicals. Other selenium-dependent enzymes regulate the balance of thyroid hormones, are components of sperm, and are thus fundamentally involved in male fertility.

What interests you about the Test for minerals?
What can I supplement the missing minerals with?
As part of the mineral test from Unilabs, we will examine your magnesium, zinc, phosphorus and copper levels. You can supplement magnesium with legumes, leafy vegetables and fish, zinc with liver, cereal sprouts or seafood. Phosphorus with legumes, mushrooms and bran, copper with eggs, nuts or chocolate.
What is the source of minerals?
As part of the mineral test from Unilabs, we will examine your magnesium, zinc, phosphorus and copper levels. Their main sources are:
- magnesium: nuts, seeds and cereals,
- zinc: red meat, cereals and legumes,
- phosphorus: offal, fish and egg yolk,
- copper: liver, nuts, coffee and chocolate.
How do I know if I have a zinc deficiency?
The human body does not have a special system for maintaining zinc reserves in the organism, and due to its high turnover, an adequate daily intake is necessary to achieve its balance. For various reasons, the supply of zinc from food may not cover its total daily requirement, which can lead to its deficiency. Deficiency can be manifested by frequent infections, impaired night vision, reduced sensitivity of smell and taste, slow healing of wounds, hair loss, diarrhea, lethargy, reduction of fertility and development of sexual organs.
