What it measures
- Vitamin B12 — A vitamin found mainly in animal foods; low levels can affect nerves and blood cells.
- Vitamin D — Helps the body absorb calcium; levels depend on sun exposure and fortified foods.
- Iron and ferritin — Ferritin shows stored iron; plant iron is absorbed less easily than animal iron.
- Vitamin B6 — Involved in metabolism and red blood cell function.
- Calcium — A mineral important for bone health, often lower without dairy.
- Zinc — Supports immune function and healing; plant sources can be harder to absorb.
