Overview of the Vitamins & Minerals Profile Test
The Vitamins & Minerals Profile is a focused nine-marker nutritional blood test assessing Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Folate, Iron status and Magnesium.
The profile is designed to provide a practical overview of several nutrients commonly investigated in people with fatigue, restricted diets or previous nutritional deficiency.
Iron status is assessed using several complementary markers rather than Iron alone.
These include Ferritin, Iron, Total Iron Binding Capacity, Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity and Transferrin Saturation.
Vitamin B12, Folate and Vitamin D provide information about important vitamin pathways, while Magnesium adds a key mineral measurement.
Copper is not included in this profile.
The Vitamins & Minerals Profile costs £99.
What Does the Vitamins & Minerals Profile Test Check?
This test measures 9 biomarkers.
Vitamin D
Measures Vitamin D status, which is relevant to bone, muscle and wider physiological function.
Vitamin B12
Measures circulating Vitamin B12.
Folate
Measures Folate status, an important nutrient involved in DNA synthesis and red blood-cell production.
Iron
Measures circulating Iron.
Total Iron Binding Capacity
Measures the blood's overall capacity to bind and transport Iron.
Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity
Measures the remaining available Iron-binding capacity.
Ferritin
Reflects stored Iron.
Magnesium
Measures circulating Magnesium.
Transferrin Saturation
Indicates the proportion of Iron-binding capacity occupied by Iron.
Who May Benefit From the Vitamins & Minerals Profile Test?
The profile may be useful for people seeking a focused nutritional assessment without a much larger wellness panel.
People with persistent fatigue - Nutrient status is one area commonly investigated.
People with previous Iron deficiency - Several Iron markers are included.
People with previous Vitamin D deficiency - Vitamin D is measured directly.
People following restrictive diets - B12, Folate and Iron may be particularly relevant.
People with low dietary intake or reduced appetite - Objective nutrient testing may provide useful information.
People taking nutritional supplements - Results can help assess current levels.
People who specifically want a profile without Copper - Copper is excluded from this version.
How to Prepare
Do not stop medically prescribed Iron or vitamin replacement unless advised by the clinician responsible for your treatment.
Symptoms and Reasons to Consider the Vitamins & Minerals Profile Test
Nutritional abnormalities can produce non-specific symptoms and should be interpreted within the wider clinical picture.
Persistent tiredness or reduced energy - Iron, B12 and Folate abnormalities may contribute.
Hair thinning or brittle nails - Nutritional factors may be relevant but are not the only possible cause.
Restricted diet - Limited intake can increase the risk of selected deficiencies.
Previous anaemia or low Ferritin - Repeat Iron studies may be useful.
Muscle weakness or low Vitamin D history - Vitamin D and Magnesium can provide additional information.
Long-term supplementation - Testing may help establish whether levels remain low, normal or excessive.
Persistent symptoms should not automatically be attributed to vitamin or mineral deficiency.
Full Blood Count, thyroid testing and other investigations may also be appropriate depending on the clinical situation.

When Will I Receive My Results?
Most biomarkers within this profile are routine nutritional and biochemistry assays.
Results are generally expected within approximately 1–2 working days, subject to laboratory processing and completion of all components.
Understanding Your Results
Iron results should be considered together.
Ferritin provides information about stored Iron, while Iron, TIBC, UIBC and Transferrin Saturation provide complementary information about circulating Iron availability.
Vitamin B12 and Folate contribute to normal blood-cell production and neurological function.
Vitamin D and Magnesium provide additional nutritional context.
A result outside the laboratory range does not always identify the underlying cause of the abnormality and may require further investigation.
