• Weakness, fatigue, or decreased energy levels
• Muscle aches and pain
• Weakened immune system and increased susceptibility to diseases
• Problems with your vision
• Joint pain and discomfort
• Problems with your heart
• Loss of appetite, nausea, or abdominal pain
• Hair loss
• Poor bone health

When to test

The Micronutrient Test can give you specific insights into your diet, enabling you to quickly and easily identify and resolve any deficiencies. Anyone can develop a micronutrient deficiency. However, some may be at increased risk, including those following a vegan or vegetarian diet or as a result of conditions such as celiac and Crohn’s disease that impair the absorption of food. Your nutritional requirements may change as you age or as a result of certain medications.

You should take the Micronutrient test if:

• You want to identify areas for improvement of your overall health
• You follow a vegetarian or vegan diet
• You have recently excluded a particular food group from your diet
• You are over 50 years of age
• You are experiencing symptoms of a deficiency*
• You have a condition that may impact the absorption of nutrients such as celiac or Crohn’s disease
• You have problems absorbing nutrients from your diet

*Talk to your physician about any symptoms that you are experiencing.

The test must be taken in the morning, on a Monday to Friday, and returned on the same day.Please be aware that some personal products such as lotions and sunscreen contain zinc and therefore may impact the accuracy of your zinc test result.

Supplements with Biotin (B7) can impact your results. Wait at least 8 hours after your last dose before collecting your sample.

Please note that the vitamin B12 test is not suitable for those under the age of 22. If you are under the age of 22 you will not receive a vitamin B12 test result.

This test is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18.
