Nutrition Check Blood Test

A finger-prick nutrition test to make sure that your body is getting the important vitamins and minerals it needs for health, well-being and immunity.

Is it for you?

Do you wonder whether your diet could be healthier, or think that you could be missing out on certain nutrients because of a special diet you follow? Do you have a condition that affects your ability to absorb vitamins and minerals properly? Or do you just think that you could have a bit more energy and want to check for iron and vitamin deficiencies? Get the answers you need from our simple at-home nutrition check.

  • You simply want to check your vitamin and mineral levels
  • You eat a restrictive diet and want to check vitamins and minerals that you could be missing out on
  • You are low in energy and want to make sure that low vitamins and minerals are not to blame
  • You want to keep an eye on your cholesterol and inflammation levels

Most balanced diets should provide us with all the vitamins and minerals our bodies need without the need for supplementing or testing, but even with the best intentions not everyone eats as well as they could all the time. You may even choose to restrict your diet for animal welfare, sustainability or health and performance issues. Or maybe there are certain foods that just don't agree with you. Whatever your reason, our nutrition check can help you understand whether you need to include more vitamins and minerals in your diet, or whether you might benefit from taking a supplement.


This profile also includes other markers that could be influenced by your diet; a full cholesterol profile with a breakdown of LDL (bad) and HDL (good) cholesterol as well as a marker for inflammation (CRP-hs).

Active B12 levels can be affected by use of vitamin B12 supplements. If you are taking an oral supplement then we recommend not taking it for one week prior to the test to ensure an accurate measure of your B12 levels. If vitamin B12 is being prescribed to you by your doctor then you should discuss with them how long to omit B12 supplements for.
