Vitaminen en Mineralen Gold

A comprehensive vitamin and mineral panel measuring the micronutrients most commonly deficient in the northern European population, including vitamin D, B12, folate, magnesium, selenium, zinc, and iron stores. Designed to guide targeted supplementation rather than guesswork.

Micronutrient deficiencies are widespread even among people who eat well. Soil depletion, food processing, individual absorption variation, and the limited sunlight at Dutch latitudes mean that adequate caloric intake does not guarantee adequate vitamin and mineral status. This panel measures the markers most relevant to identifying nutritional gaps that may be silently affecting energy production, immune function, thyroid hormone conversion, bone health, and cognitive performance. Vitamin D is near-universally low in the Netherlands between October and March and plays roles well beyond bone health. B12 is commonly insufficient in vegetarians, vegans, and older adults due to reduced intrinsic factor. Folate (B9) is critical for methylation and red blood cell production. Magnesium supports over 300 enzymatic reactions, while selenium is essential for thyroid hormone conversion and antioxidant defence. Zinc influences immune function, wound healing, and testosterone production. Iron stores (ferritin) can be depleted long before anaemia appears on a standard blood count. At EUR 255, this panel provides a data-driven alternative to the common approach of supplementing blindly. It is particularly valuable for individuals on restricted diets, athletes with elevated micronutrient turnover, those with digestive conditions that may impair absorption, and anyone who wants to optimise their supplementation protocol based on actual serum levels rather than assumptions.
