The Basic Should I Be Vegan Testing panel checks key nutrients that can be low when you avoid animal products. It is ordered to see if your diet meets your body's needs or if supplements might help.

What it measures

  • Vitamin B12 — A nutrient found mainly in animal foods; low levels can affect nerves and blood.
  • Iron (ferritin) — Stored iron; low stores can lead to tiredness and anemia.
  • Vitamin D — Helps bones and immune function; often low in people with limited sun exposure.
  • Calcium — Important for bones and muscles; vegans may get less from diet.
  • Omega-3 index — Measures a type of fat linked to heart and brain health.
  • Complete blood count (CBC) — Checks red and white blood cells for signs of anemia or infection.

Who it is for

People who follow or are considering a vegan diet, or anyone who wants to check their nutrient levels. It is often ordered by a primary care clinician or a registered dietitian.
