Vitamin Basic Screen

Three reasons the Comprehensive Vitamin Profile is right for you

• This profile checks multiple essential vitamins to identify deficiencies or imbalances affecting your health

• It covers fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins important for energy, immunity, and overall wellbeing

• Understanding your vitamin status can guide dietary or supplement choices to improve energy, skin, and immune function

What is a vitamin deficiency?

A vitamin deficiency occurs when your body does not have enough of a particular vitamin to function properly. Vitamins are crucial for processes such as energy production, immunity, nerve function, and healthy skin and eyes.

Deficiencies can develop due to poor diet, medical conditions, medications, or absorption problems. Early detection can prevent long-term health issues.

• Low vitamin levels can lead to fatigue, poor immune function, and cognitive difficulties

• Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E) are stored in the body, while water-soluble vitamins (B group) need regular replenishment

• Testing helps tailor your nutrition or supplementation for optimal health

What are the symptoms of vitamin deficiencies?

Symptoms vary depending on which vitamins are low and how severe the deficiency is. Some signs can be subtle, while others may affect multiple systems in the body.

Common symptoms include:

• Fatigue or low energy

• Poor concentration or memory difficulties

• Muscle weakness or cramps

• Dry skin, hair loss, or brittle nails

• Vision problems or night blindness (Vitamin A)

• Bone pain or frequent infections (Vitamin D)

How does the Comprehensive Vitamin Profile work?

This blood test measures levels of several essential vitamins, including:

• Vitamin A (Retinol)

• Beta Carotene

• Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)

• Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)

• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)

• Vitamin D (25-OH)

• Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol)

The results show whether any of your vitamin levels are below the optimal range and provide guidance for supplementation or dietary changes.
