Vitamins & Minerals

Measures 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol), the active hormonal form of vitamin D produced by the kidneys. Not a routine vitamin D screening test; used to investigate calcium metabolism disorders, chronic kidney disease, and conditions like sarcoidosis.

Measures aluminium in the blood to assess recent exposure. Most relevant for people on long-term dialysis, those with occupational exposure in mining, smelting, welding or ceramics, and anyone with concerns about accumulation from medications or environmental sources.

The Athlete Performance Panel measures over 50 biomarkers across hormones, iron status, inflammation, vitamins and minerals, metabolic function, and recovery markers. It gives you and your healthcare provider a detailed view of how your body is responding to training.

Measures caeruloplasmin, the primary copper transport protein in the blood. Low levels are associated with Wilson's disease, a rare inherited disorder causing toxic copper accumulation in the liver and brain. Usually ordered alongside serum copper and 24-hour urine copper.

Measures total calcium in the blood, a mineral involved in bone structure, nerve signalling and muscle function. Abnormal levels can indicate conditions affecting the parathyroid glands, vitamin D metabolism, kidneys or bone turnover.

Measures serum chromium to assess blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity. Used to investigate deficiency or occupational metal exposure.

Measures CoQ10, a mitochondrial energy compound and antioxidant. Levels decline with age and drop significantly with statin use. For people investigating fatigue, muscle symptoms, or cardiovascular health.

Measures serum copper to assess iron metabolism, connective tissue health, and neurological function. Often ordered alongside zinc, as the two minerals compete for absorption.

At-home urine test measuring 14 essential minerals and 14 toxic metals from a single sample. Assesses nutritional mineral status and environmental or occupational toxic metal exposure in one panel.

At-home urine test measuring 14 minerals including calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and selenium. Shows what the body is excreting to assess mineral status and nutritional balance.

At-home stool test measuring essential minerals and toxic metals eliminated through the digestive system. Assesses nutrient absorption and whether metals such as mercury, lead, and aluminium are being cleared.

Measures ferritin, the body's iron storage protein and the most sensitive marker for iron depletion. Used to investigate fatigue, hair thinning, and suspected iron deficiency or overload. Fasting for 8 to 12 hours is recommended.

Measures 8 essential minerals and 8 toxic metals from a hair sample, reflecting nutritional status and toxic exposures accumulated over 2 to 3 months of growth. Captures long-term patterns that blood tests may not show. At-home collection kit.

Measures 17 essential minerals and 17 toxic metals from a hair sample, reflecting 2 to 3 months of accumulation. Expanded panel covering trace elements and rarer toxic metals beyond Level 1. At-home collection kit.

Measures homocysteine from a finger-prick blood spot sample. Elevated levels are associated with increased cardiovascular risk and may reflect B6, B12, or folate deficiency. Relevant for people monitoring heart health or investigating fatigue, mood changes, or cognitive concerns.

Measures homocysteine, an amino acid that rises when folate, B12, and B6 metabolism is impaired. Elevated levels are associated with increased cardiovascular and neurological risk. Used to investigate B-vitamin deficiency and assess methylation function. Fasting preferred.

At-home iodine loading challenge test assessing whole-body iodine stores through 24-hour urine collection after a measured iodine dose. Higher retention indicates depleted stores. More informative than spot urine testing alone.

At-home spot urine test measuring urinary iodine concentration from a single morning sample. Screens whether recent dietary iodine intake appears adequate for thyroid function. Results compared to WHO reference ranges.

Measures iodine concentration in a single urine sample collected at a pathology centre. Screens recent dietary iodine intake and flags potential deficiency affecting thyroid function. Results compared to WHO reference ranges.

Full iron panel measuring serum iron, ferritin, transferrin, transferrin saturation, and TIBC. Requires an 8 to 12 hour fast. Used to investigate iron deficiency, iron overload, and anaemia.

Measures lithium concentration 12 hours after the last dose. Used for routine therapeutic monitoring of lithium therapy to confirm levels remain in the effective range and to prevent toxicity.

The Magnesium Blood Test measures magnesium, a mineral essential for energy production, nerve function, and healthy muscles and bones. Low magnesium may be linked to cramps, fatigue, or irregular heartbeat, while healthy levels support strong muscles, steady energy, and heart health.

Measures blood manganese to assess occupational exposure in workers in welding, mining or metal manufacturing, and to monitor accumulation in patients on long-term parenteral nutrition. Excess manganese can cause manganism, a neurological condition resembling Parkinson's disease.
