Test for vitamins and minerals

Benefits of vitamin and mineral testing

• A total of 10 minerals and vitamins measured
• Results within 21 working days
• Tests levels of vitamins A, E, D, B12, B9, magnesium, zinc, copper, phosphorus and selenium
• Examination of the levels of substances that affect well-being and a healthy lifestyle
• Take control of your health and well-being

What´s measured

Parameters

Zinc

Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a role in various bodily functions, including immune system function, wound healing, and cell growth. The test helps assess whether you have a zinc deficiency or excess, which can indicate potential issues with your overall health and nutritional status.

Magnesium

Magnesium (Mg) is a mineral that is related to the metabolism of bones, muscles, intestines, kidneys and, together with other minerals, is involved in maintaining the balance of the internal environment. It helps the proper function of a large number of enzymes.

Selenium

Selenium is an essential trace element. The selenium content in plant foods depends on the selenium content of the soils and can vary greatly. In Europe, the soils and thus most plant foods are rather poor in selenium. Selenium is a component of enzymes and thus involved in a large number of reactions in the body. As a component of antioxidant enzymes, selenium is important, among other things, for protecting the organism from cell damage caused by radicals. Other selenium-dependent enzymes regulate the thyroid hormone balance or are components of sperm and thus essential for male fertility."

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.

Copper

Copper is a component of enzymes and involved in iron metabolism.

Vitamin D

An optimal level of vitamin D is essential for the proper functioning of a number of metabolic processes in the body.

Vitamin B12

B12 is an essential nutrient plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy nerve cells, supporting red blood cell production, and aiding in DNA synthesis. Deficiency in B12 can lead to fatigue, nerve damage, and anemia, while adequate levels are important for overall health and well-being

Folate

Folate is crucial for cell growth, DNA synthesis, and the production of red blood cells. The test helps determine if you have sufficient levels of folate, which is necessary for overall health, proper development of cells and tissues, and prevention of certain types of anemia.

Vitamin A

Consuming an adequate amount of Vitamin A supports eye health. Vitamin A also stimulates white blood cell production and activity, is involved in bone formation, helps maintain healthy endothelial cells (which line the inner surfaces of the body) and regulates cell growth and division as required for reproduction.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with several forms, but alpha-tocopherol is the only one used by the human body. Its main role is to act as an antioxidant, scavenging loose electrons—so-called “free radicals”—that can damage cells. Serum concentrations of vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) depend on the liver, which takes up the nutrient after the various forms are absorbed from the small intestine.
