Active Vitamin B12 (pmol/L)
Active vitamin B12 is the biologically active form of vitamin B12 that is essential for many physiological processes in the body, including the production of red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and nerve function.
Folate (ng/mL)
Vitamin B9; role in DNA creation and red blood cell production.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) (µg/L)
Crucial in metabolic reactions and ATP formation.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal-5-phosphate) (µg/L)
Helps make neurotransmitters, control homocysteine levels, and support brain function, hormone production, and immune system.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) (µmol/L)
Crucial for tissue growth and repair, wound healing, bone and teeth health, collagen production, and iron absorption.
Vitamin D (25-OHD) (ng/mL)
Although called a vitamin, vitamin D (25-OHD) is actually a steroid hormone which is activated by sunshine on the skin. It is essential for bone strength as it helps the intestines absorb calcium.
Vitamin A (Retinol) (µg/dL)
Vitamin A is essential for vision, immune function, and skin health. Low levels can cause vision issues and immune deficiency.
Vitamin E (mg/dL)
Fat-soluble vitamin; important for immune system, red blood cell formation, and blood clotting.
Zinc (µg/dL)
Zinc is a trace element crucial for immune function, wound healing, and DNA synthesis. Low levels can lead to impaired immunity and delayed wound healing.
Copper to Zinc ratio
A commonly cited range for the copper to zinc ratio is 0.7 and 1.0. Studies have noted that ratios above 1.0 may be associated with higher levels of inflammation and oxidative stress.
Iron (µg/dL)
Iron (Fe) is essential for hemoglobin production and oxygen transport. Low levels can lead to anemia, while high levels may indicate iron overload disorders.
Transferrin (mg/dL)
Transferrin is a protein that binds and transports iron in the blood. Abnormal levels can indicate iron metabolism disorders.
Transferrin saturation (%)
Transferrin saturation measures the percentage of transferrin bound with iron, indicating iron status. Abnormal levels can indicate iron deficiency or overload.
Ferritin (ng/mL)
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body. Low levels can indicate iron deficiency, while high levels may suggest iron overload or inflammation.
Calcium (mg/dL)
Calcium (Ca) is a mineral vital for bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling. Abnormal levels can suggest bone, kidney, or parathyroid issues.
Calcium (corrected) (mmol/L)
Corrected calcium adjusts for changes in serum albumin levels, providing a more accurate measure of the biologically active form of calcium, and is therefore a better reflection of the body's calcium status.
Magnesium (mmol/L)
Magnesium and calcium work together closely to maintain strong bones, and magnesium deficiency has been associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis.
Phosphate (mmol/L)
Phosphate is a mineral which is essential for the formation of bones and teeth. It is also essential for many other cellular processes including energy metabolism and the formation of DNA and RNA.
Sodium (mmol/L)
Sodium (Na) helps regulate water balance and nerve function. Abnormal levels can affect hydration status and blood pressure.
Potassium (mmol/L)
Potassium (K) is essential for nerve function and muscle contraction. Abnormal levels can affect heart and muscle function.
Chloride (mmol/L)
Chloride is important for maintaining fluid balance and for the proper functioning of the digestive system.
Fasting glucose (mmol/L)
If you have diabetes your body doesn't process glucose effectively.
Triglycerides (mg/dL)
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood. High levels can increase the risk of heart disease.
Albumin (g/dL)
Albumin is a protein made by the liver that helps keep fluid in your bloodstream and carries various substances throughout your body. Low levels can indicate liver or kidney disease.
Total Protein (g/dL)
A measure of all of the proteins in the plasma portion of your blood. Proteins are important building blocks of all cells and tissues - they are important for body growth and health.
