Nutrient Essentials

10
Tested

Evaluates key vitamins and minerals, including A, E, zinc, and magnesium, to support women’s overall health, immunity, energy, skin, and bone strength while identifying potential nutrient deficiencies.

Why Take This Test?

For Women’s Health

Hormonal changes, metabolic shifts, and nutritional deficiencies can impact energy, mood, and long-term well-being.

For Proactive Wellness

Identifies imbalances in kidney and liver function, cardiovascular markers, and reproductive hormones — helping you stay ahead of chronic conditions.

Identify early nutrient deficiencies early

As women age, they face shifting hormonal profiles, increased risk for chronic diseases, and often subtle nutrient deficiencies. This test provides insight into hormonal changes related to perimenopause or menopause, early signs of diabetes, heart disease, or thyroid dysfunction, vitamin and mineral imbalances, inflammation or autoimmune activity, and liver, kidney, and metabolic function. By identifying these issues early, women can take action with their healthcare provider to prevent long-term complications and optimize their health.

Who should take this test?

Women aged 25 and up looking for an annual wellness snapshot.

Anyone experiencing fatigue, irregular periods, weight changes, or low energy.

Women interested in monitoring heart, kidney, and liver health.

Those who want to detect early signs of diabetes, anemia, or thyroid imbalance.

Individuals wanting to be more proactive about their health without relying on insurance.

What’s included?

Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy
1 Biomarker
  • 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (D2 + D3 Total)
Micronutrient, Vitamin A (Retinol)
1 Biomarker

Measures vitamin A levels in the blood. Important for women to support vision, immune function, reproductive health, and skin integrity, while preventing deficiencies that can impact overall wellness.

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) and Folate Panel, Serum
3 Biomarkers

Measures blood levels of vitamin B12 and folate. Important for women to support nerve health, energy production, red blood cell formation, and to prevent anemia, cognitive decline, and certain pregnancy complications.

Micronutrient, Zinc, Plasma
2 Biomarkers

Measures zinc levels in the blood. Important for women to support immune function, wound healing, reproductive health, skin integrity, and sense of taste and smell.

Magnesium
1 Biomarker

Measures magnesium levels in the blood. Important for women to support muscle and nerve function, bone health, heart rhythm, and to help prevent issues like cramps, fatigue, and osteoporosis.

Phosphate (as Phosphorus)
1 Biomarker

Measures phosphorus levels. Important for bone strength, energy production, and overall metabolic health.

Micronutrient, Vitamin E
1 Biomarker

Measures vitamin E levels in the blood. Important for women to protect cells from oxidative damage, support immune health, maintain healthy skin and eyes, and promote cardiovascular wellness.

Iron, Total

The Total Iron test measures the amount of iron circulating in the blood at the time of collection and is commonly ordered as part of the evaluation of iron status and anemia. It is usually combined with other tests, such as ferritin and transferrin/TIBC, to provide a more complete picture, since iron levels alone can fluctuate depending on meals or the time of day. While ferritin is often a better indicator of the body’s iron stores, it can also be elevated in the presence of inflammation, which complicates interpretation. For this reason, assessing iron status typically relies on interpreting multiple tests together.

Folate, Serum

The Folate, Serum test measures the level of folate (vitamin B9) in the blood at the time of collection and is typically ordered to help evaluate anemia or nutritional concerns. Serum folate reflects recent dietary intake and can change quickly, so while very low levels suggest deficiency, repeating the test or checking red blood cell (RBC) folate provides a more reliable long-term view, since RBC folate reflects folate status over several months. In addition, elevated homocysteine levels can support the diagnosis of folate deficiency, although they may also rise in the case of vitamin B12 deficiency.
