What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing constant tiredness, brain fog, tingling in your hands or feet, or mood changes that just won't go away. It checks whether low levels of B-vitamins and other key nutrients might be behind how you're feeling. It's also useful if you follow a restrictive diet, are vegan or vegetarian, or have digestive issues that make it harder to absorb nutrients from food.

What's included in this test?

This panel groups together B-vitamins and related micronutrients because they work as a team to support energy production, brain function, nerve health, and red blood cell formation. Checking them together gives a fuller picture than testing just one, since deficiencies often overlap and can cause similar symptoms like fatigue or poor concentration.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results show up securely in your account, with each nutrient level explained alongside its normal range so you know exactly where you stand. If something is low, you'll get simple next steps like specific food or supplement suggestions, and guidance on when it makes sense to retest. A standard lab report is available to download anytime, and you can use the trends feature to track your nutrient levels over months or years to see if your changes are working.

How can I naturally support healthy B-vitamin and micronutrient levels?

Eating a varied diet with leafy greens, eggs, meat, fish, nuts, and fortified cereals covers most B-vitamins naturally. If you're vegan or vegetarian, a B12 supplement is often a smart addition since this vitamin mainly comes from animal products. Cutting back on alcohol and managing stress also helps your body absorb and use these nutrients better.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. You'll get a notification as soon as they're posted to your account so you don't have to keep checking back.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone with unexplained fatigue, brain fog, or nerve tingling, as well as people on vegan, vegetarian, or restrictive diets. It's also worth considering if you have a condition affecting nutrient absorption, drink alcohol regularly, or are over 50, since absorption of some B-vitamins naturally declines with age.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include ongoing tiredness even after resting, difficulty concentrating, numbness or tingling in the hands or feet, mood changes like irritability or low mood, and pale skin. Hair thinning, mouth sores, and muscle weakness can also point to a nutrient gap worth checking.

What is a micronutrient deficiency and why does it matter?

A micronutrient deficiency happens when your body doesn't have enough of a specific vitamin or mineral to function at its best, even though these are needed only in small amounts. Left unaddressed, deficiencies in B-vitamins can affect your energy, memory, nerve function, and even your mood over time. Catching a shortfall early makes it much easier to correct through diet or supplements before symptoms get worse.

What does a low B12 or folate result mean?

A low result means your body may not have enough of that vitamin to properly support energy production, red blood cell formation, or nerve function. This can show up as fatigue, weakness, tingling, or trouble concentrating. Simple fixes like adding more of the vitamin through food or a supplement, then retesting in a few months, often bring levels back up.

How often should I retest?

If your levels come back low and you start supplementing or changing your diet, retesting in about 2-3 months is a reasonable way to see if things are improving. If your results are normal and you have no symptoms, checking again once a year is usually enough, especially if you're vegan, vegetarian, or over 50.
