The Standard Should I Be Vegan Testing is a blood panel that checks key nutrients often affected by a plant-based diet. It is ordered to see whether a vegan or mostly plant-based eating pattern is meeting your body's needs.

What it measures

  • Vitamin B12 — A nutrient found mainly in animal foods; low levels can affect nerves and blood.
  • Vitamin D — Helps the body absorb calcium; levels depend on sun and diet.
  • Iron and Ferritin — Iron carries oxygen in blood; ferritin shows stored iron.
  • Complete Blood Count — Checks red and white blood cells and other blood basics.
  • Omega-3 Index — Measures certain fats linked to heart and brain health.
  • Calcium — A mineral important for bones and muscle function.

Who it is for

It is typically ordered for people who follow or are considering a vegan diet and want to check their nutrient status. A clinician may also order it if you have symptoms such as fatigue or tingling.

Preparation

Fasting is often not required, but some labs ask for 8 to 12 hours without food. Tell the lab about any supplements you take, since they can affect results.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as numbers with a reference range for each marker. A clinician interprets them alongside your diet, symptoms, and history. This is general information only and not medical advice; talk with a qualified clinician about your results.

Does this test tell me if I should be vegan?

No. It shows nutrient levels, not whether a diet is right for you. A clinician can help you interpret the results.
