Overview of the Vitamin Profile 1 Test
Vitamin Profile 1 is a specialist seven-marker nutritional blood profile assessing Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C and E together with Beta Carotene.
The profile combines several water-soluble B vitamins with important fat-soluble vitamins involved in areas such as vision, energy metabolism, nerve function, antioxidant protection and general nutritional health.
Vitamin status can be influenced by diet, gastrointestinal absorption, medication, supplementation, chronic illness and other individual factors.
Testing several vitamins at the same time may provide a broader nutritional picture than testing one nutrient alone.
Vitamin Profile 1 is smaller than Vitamin Profile 2 and does not include Vitamin B3, Red Cell Folate or Active Vitamin B12.
Results should be interpreted alongside diet, symptoms, supplements and relevant medical history. The Vitamin Profile 1 costs £429.
What Does the Vitamin Profile 1 Test Check?
Vitamin Profile 1 measures seven vitamin-related biomarkers. This test measures 7 biomarkers.
Vitamin A (Retinol)
Measures Retinol, the main circulating form of Vitamin A, which is important for vision, immunity and cell development.
Beta Carotene
Measures a dietary carotenoid that can act as a precursor to Vitamin A.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
Measures Thiamine, which is involved in energy metabolism and nervous-system function.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Measures Riboflavin, which supports several enzyme pathways involved in cellular metabolism.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
Measures Vitamin B6, which is involved in amino-acid metabolism, neurotransmitter pathways and normal blood-cell function.
Vitamin C (Frozen)
Measures Vitamin C, a water-soluble antioxidant that requires specialist frozen-sample handling.
Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol)
Measures Alpha Tocopherol, a major fat-soluble antioxidant.
Who May Benefit From the Vitamin Profile 1 Test?
Vitamin Profile 1 may be useful for people seeking a focused multi-vitamin assessment without the additional markers included in Vitamin Profile 2.
People with restricted dietary intake - Several commonly relevant vitamins can be assessed together.
People with previous vitamin deficiencies - Repeat testing may help monitor current nutritional status.
People concerned about nutritional status - The profile provides broader information than one isolated vitamin test.
People taking several supplements - Testing may help establish current levels.
People with possible malabsorption concerns - Multiple nutritional markers can form part of a wider investigation.
People experiencing persistent non-specific symptoms - Vitamin status may be one area considered alongside broader medical assessment.
How to Prepare
Do not discontinue medically prescribed vitamins without appropriate advice.
When repeating the profile, similar preparation conditions can improve comparison between results.
Symptoms and Reasons to Consider the Vitamin Profile 1 Test
Vitamin deficiencies can contribute to a range of symptoms, although these symptoms are often non-specific.
Persistent tiredness or reduced energy - Nutritional assessment may form part of a wider investigation.
Restricted or unbalanced diet - Limited intake can increase the risk of selected deficiencies.
Previous low Vitamin C or other tested vitamins - Repeat assessment may help monitor status.
Neurological symptoms or altered sensation - B-vitamin status may sometimes be relevant.
Possible problems absorbing nutrients - Gastrointestinal conditions can affect vitamin absorption.
Long-term supplementation - Testing can provide objective information about current levels.
A vitamin profile does not identify every possible nutritional deficiency.
Persistent symptoms may also require Full Blood Count, Iron studies, thyroid testing or other investigations depending on the clinical picture.

When Will I Receive My Results?

The complete report is released once all seven vitamin-related measurements have been analysed and authorised.
Occasional specialist quality-control requirements may extend the turnaround.
Understanding Your Results
Each result is interpreted against the laboratory's reference range.
A lower result may reflect reduced dietary intake, impaired absorption, increased requirements or another cause depending on the vitamin involved.
Higher concentrations may also be relevant, particularly where significant supplementation is being taken.
Results should therefore be interpreted alongside your diet, supplement use and overall health.
Where several abnormalities are present, broader nutritional or gastrointestinal assessment may be appropriate.
