A thirteen-biomarker nutritional status panel measuring the vitamins, minerals, and metabolic markers most commonly deficient in the central European population. Covers vitamin D, B12, folate, iron stores, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and additional markers to provide a comprehensive micronutrient snapshot.
Micronutrient deficiencies are surprisingly prevalent even in well-fed populations. Modern diets, food processing, soil depletion, and individual absorption differences mean that adequate caloric intake does not guarantee adequate micronutrient status. This panel measures the 13 markers most relevant to identifying nutritional gaps that may be affecting energy, immunity, recovery, cognitive function, and long-term health. Vitamin D is widely deficient in northern Europe and plays roles beyond bone health — including immune modulation and muscle function. B12 and folate are essential for neurological function and red blood cell production. Iron stores (ferritin) are the most common single-nutrient deficiency worldwide. Magnesium supports over 300 enzymatic reactions including energy production and muscle relaxation. Zinc is critical for immune function and wound healing, while selenium supports thyroid hormone conversion and antioxidant defence. This panel is the most comprehensive nutrient screen available at Becker Care and is particularly valuable for individuals following restricted diets (vegetarian, vegan, elimination diets), those with digestive conditions that may impair absorption, athletes with elevated micronutrient demands, and anyone wanting a data-driven approach to supplementation rather than guessing. Results guide targeted supplementation decisions and help avoid unnecessary over-supplementation of nutrients that are already adequate.
