Combined micronutrient panel covering the vitamins and trace elements most commonly deficient in European diets. Includes vitamin D, vitamin B12, folic acid, iron, ferritin, magnesium, calcium, and zinc. At 278 PLN (~€64), this comprehensive nutritional screen costs less than a single vitamin D test at many German labs.
This panel targets the micronutrient deficiencies most responsible for common complaints: fatigue, poor immunity, hair loss, cognitive decline, and muscle weakness. Vitamin D deficiency affects an estimated 60–90% of Central European adults during winter months, driven by latitude-limited UV exposure from October through March. Szczecin at 53°N has even less winter sunlight than Berlin at 52°N. Vitamin B12 and folic acid are critical for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and neurological function. B12 deficiency is common in vegetarians, vegans, older adults with reduced gastric acid, and long-term metformin users. Folic acid deficiency causes macrocytic anaemia and is associated with elevated homocysteine — an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Iron and ferritin together provide a complete iron status picture. Serum iron fluctuates with meals and inflammation; ferritin reflects stored iron reserves and is more diagnostically reliable. Ferritin below 30 ng/mL is associated with fatigue and hair loss even when haemoglobin is normal. Magnesium supports over 300 enzymatic reactions including energy production, muscle relaxation, and sleep regulation. Calcium is essential for bone health and neuromuscular function. Zinc supports immune defence and wound healing. Individual tests are also available: vitamin D 94 PLN, B12 72 PLN, folic acid 68 PLN, iron 22 PLN, ferritin 63 PLN, magnesium 22 PLN, calcium 23 PLN.

Panel Categories
Biomarkers Tested
11A trace mineral essential for iron metabolism, connective tissue formation, and antioxidant defense. The copper/zinc ratio is an emerging marker of inflammation and oxidative stress. Both deficiency and excess can cause problems.
Essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and red blood cell formation. Folate deficiency causes megaloblastic anemia and, during pregnancy, increases the risk of neural tube defects. Works closely with vitamin B12.
Involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions including energy production, muscle function, and nerve signaling. Magnesium deficiency is common and associated with muscle cramps, anxiety, insomnia, and increased cardiovascular risk.
A trace mineral crucial for thyroid hormone metabolism, antioxidant defense (via selenoproteins), and immune function. Selenium deficiency can impair thyroid function and increase susceptibility to viral infections.
A fat-soluble vitamin essential for vision, immune function, skin health, and cell growth. Both deficiency and excess can cause health problems. Levels are tightly regulated by the liver.
Essential for nerve function, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation. B12 deficiency can cause anemia, neuropathy, fatigue, and cognitive impairment. Common in vegans, vegetarians, older adults, and those taking metformin or acid-reducing medications.
A powerful water-soluble antioxidant essential for collagen synthesis, immune function, and iron absorption. Vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy. It also supports wound healing and protects against oxidative stress.
The best indicator of overall vitamin D status. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption, bone health, immune function, and mood regulation. Deficiency is extremely common, especially in northern latitudes, and linked to increased disease risk.
A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage. Vitamin E works synergistically with vitamin C and selenium. Deficiency is rare but can cause nerve and muscle damage.
Essential for blood clotting and bone metabolism. Vitamin K activates proteins needed for blood coagulation and calcium regulation in bones. Deficiency increases bleeding risk and may contribute to osteoporosis.
An essential trace mineral involved in immune function, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and testosterone production. Zinc deficiency impairs immune response, delays wound healing, and can cause hair loss and taste changes.
