Vitamins & Minerals Profile Blood Test

Measures five markers (folate, CRP, vitamin B12, vitamin D and ferritin) to check for nutrient deficiencies and early inflammation. Suits anyone with symptoms like fatigue or low energy who wants an actual reading rather than a genetic estimate.

About this test

This test measures five markers: C-reactive protein (CRP), an early marker of inflammation; ferritin, which reflects iron stores; folate and vitamin B12, both linked to energy levels when low; and vitamin D, linked to bone and muscle health when deficient. Together these cover several of the more common nutrient-related causes of fatigue and low energy.

Against a median of £94 for similarly sized vitamin tests we track, this £85 test is priced 10% lower. Its five markers place it in the upper range for depth among vitamin tests generally, ahead of most similarly priced alternatives.

The clinical depth score is high, reflecting a marker count above what most comparable vitamin tests cover, and the value for money score is moderate given the price sits only slightly below the comparable median. Results and follow-up scores well because a GP reviews the results and provides recommendations.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone with symptoms such as fatigue, low energy or bone or muscle aches who wants an actual measurement of key vitamin and mineral levels, along with an early inflammation marker, rather than a genetic estimate. If you specifically suspect one deficiency, such as low vitamin D or ferritin, MyHealthChecked's own rapid tests check those individually for £8 each.

How it works

You take a finger-prick blood sample at home and post it to MyHealthChecked's UK laboratory. Results are ready in 2 to 3 working days, and a GP reviews them and provides recommendations on optimising your nutrition.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers five markers, above the typical depth for similarly sized vitamin tests we track
  • Priced 10% below the £94 median for comparable vitamin tests
  • GP-reviewed results with nutrition recommendations included

Cons

  • Costs more than testing a single suspected deficiency with one of MyHealthChecked's own £8 rapid tests
  • Does not include full blood count or thyroid markers, tested in MyHealthChecked's broader panels
