Details about Nutritional Health
What is a Nutritional Health Test?
The Nutritional Health panel is a comprehensive blood test designed to assess vitamin levels, mineral balance, iron status, metabolic function, thyroid health, liver function, and digestive absorption.
This profile includes:
• Full Blood Count (FBC)
• Albumin and Adjusted Calcium
• Iron studies (Iron, Ferritin, TIBC, Transferrin, Saturation)
• Folate, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Zinc, Magnesium
• Cholesterol profile and triglycerides
• Glucose, HbA1c, Insulin
• Liver Function Tests and Bilirubin
• Thyroid panel with antibodies (TSH, FT4, FT3, Anti-TPO, Anti-Tg)
• Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase antibodies (coeliac screening)
• Pancreatic Amylase
It helps identify whether symptoms are linked to poor nutrient absorption, deficiency, or metabolic imbalance.
Why do I need a Nutritional Health test?
Nutritional deficiencies are a very common hidden cause of fatigue, hair loss, low immunity, brain fog, poor recovery, and digestive problems.
Reasons for testing include:
• Persistent tiredness
• Hair thinning or brittle nails
• Digestive issues or bloating
• Suspected coeliac disease
• Poor diet or restrictive diet
• Thyroid symptoms
• Low mood or poor concentration
• Recurrent infections
Benefits of the test
1. Detects vitamin and mineral deficiencies
2. Assesses iron status and anemia risk
3. Evaluates thyroid function affecting metabolism
4. Checks glucose and insulin balance
5. Screens for coeliac-related malabsorption
6. Assesses liver and pancreatic contribution to nutrition
7. Evaluates cholesterol and metabolic health
8. Provides a full nutritional overview

Nutrition affects every system in the body. This panel helps identify whether symptoms stem from deficiency, absorption problems, or metabolic issues.

Your results explained
Low levels
Low vitamins, minerals, iron, or thyroid hormones may explain fatigue and poor health.
Normal levels
Nutritional and metabolic balance appear stable.
High levels
Elevated glucose, liver markers, or antibodies may indicate metabolic or absorption issues.

Follow these guidelines for accurate results
Sample Timing
Where possible, attend your blood test between 7am and 12pm. Please wait until any short-term illness or infection has fully resolved before testing. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.
Fasting & Hydration
Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours before your appointment and drink water only. Stay well hydrated, as this helps with sample collection and accuracy.
Medications & Supplements
Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your clinician. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results. If you are unsure about any medication or supplement, please let us know before your appointment.
Hormones & Menstrual Cycle
For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. If relevant, follow any specific guidance provided on your test page.
If you have any questions or special circumstances, our team is happy to advise before your appointment.
