Who it's for

Before you spend on supplements, test

Micronutrient deficiencies are common, easily corrected and often missed. This panel is a sensible step if any of these sound familiar.

Taking supplements

Already on vitamins or minerals and wanting to confirm your levels are now adequate.

Restricted diet

Vegan, vegetarian or limited intake — situations where deficiencies are more likely.

Tired or low

Fatigue, low mood or aching muscles that could trace back to low iron, B12 or vitamin D.

Absorption issues

Coeliac disease, IBD or previous gastric surgery, which can affect how you absorb nutrients.

Older adults

Nutrient needs and absorption change with age, making low levels easier to slip into.

A targeted baseline

You want hard numbers before and after a change to diet or supplementation.

What we check

12 markers across the key micronutrients

This panel focuses on the vitamins and minerals most commonly low in the UK, with a full iron study and a marker of nutritional protein status. Here's what each group can tell you.

Vitamin D

Low vitamin D is widespread in the UK and affects bone health, immunity, mood and energy.

1 marker

B12 & folate

Low vitamin B12 or folate can cause tiredness, low mood and a type of anaemia — and is easily corrected.

2 markers

Iron status

A full iron study — iron, ferritin, transferrin, binding capacity and saturation — can spot a deficiency before anaemia appears.

5 markers

Magnesium

Low magnesium is linked to muscle cramps, fatigue and cardiovascular risk.

1 marker

Calcium

Adjusted calcium reflects the mineral central to bone, muscle and nerve function.

1 marker

Zinc

An essential mineral for immunity, skin, wound healing and taste — and a common shortfall.

1 marker

Albumin

A marker of nutritional protein status that adds context to your overall micronutrient picture.

1 marker

Target your supplements

With real numbers, a clinician can help you correct only what is actually low.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

What does the vitamins and minerals blood test check?
This 12-marker panel checks the micronutrients most commonly deficient in the UK — vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, iron (with ferritin, transferrin and binding capacity), magnesium, calcium and zinc, plus albumin as a marker of nutritional protein status. It can help identify or rule out common deficiencies, and every result is reviewed by a clinician.
Do I need to fast before this blood test?
For most people no fasting is required, although an iron panel is best taken in the morning before any iron supplements. Our team will confirm any preparation when you book.
How long do results take?
We process your sample promptly and contact you as soon as your clinician-reviewed results are ready — turnaround varies by test. Every result is reviewed by a clinician, who flags anything outside the normal range with a clear explanation and guidance on sensible next steps.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly online or by calling 0121 387 3727. Same-week appointments are available 7 days a week, 8am to 8pm.
Should I test before starting supplements?
Yes — testing first tells you which levels are actually low, so you can target supplementation rather than guess. A clinician reviews every result and explains what it means. This test is a screening investigation and is not a substitute for a clinical diagnosis.
Can I claim this on private health insurance?
Self-funded blood tests are usually paid for directly rather than through insurance, as most insurers require a referral first. If you would like to use insurance, call us on 0121 387 3727 and our team will advise on the best route for your policy.

Understanding your Vitamins And Minerals results

Each result in your Vitamins And Minerals is reviewed by a clinician before release. Below is a plain-English guide to the key markers included in this panel.

Key Biomarkers

This panel assesses the key markers relevant to vitamins and minerals. Each result is reviewed by a clinician who will flag any values outside the expected range for your age and sex.

Reference Ranges

Reference intervals are population-derived and should be interpreted alongside your symptoms and clinical history — a result within range does not always exclude pathology, and a mildly out-of-range result may be clinically insignificant in isolation.

Reference ranges vary between laboratories and are influenced by age, sex, and other individual factors. This information is for educational purposes only and does not replace a clinical consultation. The Vesey reviews every result before it is released to you.
