Mineral Blood Test

Feeling tired, foggy, or run-down? A mineral blood test checks for key deficiencies that could be affecting your energy, mood, focus, or muscle function.

Reignite Your Spark: Test Essential Minerals to Combat Fatigue, Fog, and Weakness – From Home

Run-down days blending into weeks? Unexplained tiredness, cramps, or brittle nails might trace back to mineral gaps draining your body’s core functions. Our Mineral Blood Test screens a full panel – from iron and magnesium to zinc and vitamin D – revealing deficiencies so you can restore energy, focus, and resilience.

A qualified nurse performs a quick venous draw at your door, with lab-accurate results in 7 days – the straightforward way to fuel your health without the hassle.

The Overlooked Mineral Drain – How Deficiencies Quietly Undermine Your Daily Drive

Minerals power everything from oxygen transport (iron) to nerve signals (magnesium), but modern life – restrictive diets, stress, meds, or gut issues – depletes them fast. Low levels sneak up as vague woes: chronic fatigue sapping motivation, muscle cramps halting workouts, brain fog clouding decisions, or frequent infections weakening immunity. In the UK, where vegan/veggie diets are common and sunlight scarce, deficiencies in B12, folate, or vitamin D affect millions, raising risks like anaemia, brittle bones, or mood dips without warning.

It’s demoralising blaming “age” or “busyness” while symptoms persist – poor concentration stalling work, dizziness unsettling routines, or slow healing prolonging recovery. Without testing, you’re in the dark; but spotting imbalances guides fixes, often turning things around in weeks.

“My fatigue vanished after addressing low iron and magnesium – this test was the key.” – Tom H., Glasgow.

Reclaim your edge – minerals are your foundation; test to rebuild it strong.

Who Should Take the Mineral Blood Test? If This Hits Home, You’re in the Right Place

This comprehensive panel is vital for anyone feeling off-balance.
Prioritise it if you’re:

• Grappling with fatigue or low energy that rest can’t fix, possibly from B12, iron, or vitamin D shortages?
• Experiencing muscle cramps, weakness, or dizziness hinting at magnesium, calcium, or electrolyte dips?
• Noticing poor concentration, brain fog, or mood swings linked to zinc, manganese, or B-vitamins?
• Dealing with brittle nails, hair loss, or slow healing from copper, zinc, or folate gaps?
• Following restrictive diets (vegan, keto, low-cal) or meds (diuretics, antacids) affecting absorption?
• Managing conditions like gut disorders, kidney issues, chronic stress, or athletic demands that deplete stores?

Test annually for maintenance, or more often with diet changes, illness recovery, or symptom onset – empowering proactive health.

What Your Mineral Blood Test Reveals – A Full Spectrum of Nutrient Essentials

Our accredited UK lab analyses your venous sample for 11 key markers, delivering a clear PDF report with ranges, flags, and interpretations. Focused on bodily performance:

• Vitamin B12: Supports red blood cell production, nerve health, and DNA synthesis. Low levels cause anaemia, fatigue, or neurological fog.
• Calcium: Builds bones/teeth and aids muscle/nerve/heart function. Imbalances affect strength, cramps, or rhythm.
• Chromium: Enhances insulin/carb/fat processing. Deficiencies may disrupt blood sugar, energy, or metabolism.
• Copper: Fuels energy, immunity, and red blood cell formation. Lows lead to weakness, poor healing, or anaemia.
• Serum Iron: Carries oxygen via haemoglobin. Deficient? Expect tiredness, dizziness, or pale skin from poor transport.
• Ferritin: Gauges iron stores. Low indicates hidden depletion before anaemia hits, guiding early replenishment.
• Serum Folate (Vitamin B9): Drives cell growth, brain function, and DNA. Shortages cause fatigue, mood issues, or pregnancy risks.
• Magnesium: Powers 300+ reactions for muscles, nerves, energy, and blood sugar. Lows spark cramps, anxiety, or sleep woes.
• Manganese: Aids bone formation, metabolism, and antioxidants. Imbalances affect wound healing or joint health.
• Vitamin D 25(OH): Reflects overall status for bones, immunity, and mood. UK deficiencies common, linking to aches or low spirits.
• Zinc: Boosts immunity, healing, and senses. Deficits weaken defence, slow recovery, or dull taste/smell.

Optimise Your Minerals – Practical Steps to Restore Balance from Your Results

Armed with insights, addressing deficiencies is achievable and rewarding – often via simple, sustainable changes. Consult your GP before starting, especially for supplements:

• Boost Iron/Ferritin: Eat red meat, spinach, lentils, or fortified cereals; pair with vitamin C (oranges) for absorption. Supplements if low, but watch for overload.
• Replenish Magnesium/Calcium: Nuts, seeds, leafy greens, dairy, or tofu; aim for 300-400mg daily via food. Stress reduction (yoga) helps retention.
• Uplift B12/Folate: For vegans, add fortified plant milks, eggs, or yeast extract; meat/fish for omnivores. B12 shots if absorption issues.
• Enhance Zinc/Copper/Chromium/Manganese: Oysters, nuts, whole grains, or dark chocolate. Balanced diet prevents excesses.
• Vitamin D Top-Up: Safe sun (10-15 mins), fatty fish, or eggs; UK winters often need 10-25mcg supplements. Exercise outdoors for dual benefits.

Retest in 3-6 months to track progress – many report sharper focus and vitality soon after.
