Vitamins & Nutrients

Nutrients and transport measures that connect diet, stores, blood formation and immune function.

nmol/L

Vitamin D (25-OH)

Vitamin D (25-OH) is the main blood measure of vitamin D stores. It helps regulate calcium and support bone and muscle health, while the result reflects recent sunlight, food and supplements.

pmol/L

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 supports healthy nerves, DNA and red blood cell production. A low or borderline result is read with the full blood count and, when needed, active B12 or homocysteine.

nmol/L

Folate (Serum)

Folate is a B vitamin needed for DNA, red blood cell production and homocysteine processing. Serum folate reflects recent intake and is read with vitamin B12 and the full blood count.

µmol/L

Serum Iron

Serum iron measures the iron circulating in your blood at the time of collection. Meals, supplements and time of day affect it, so it is read with ferritin, TIBC and transferrin saturation.

µg/L

Ferritin

Ferritin reflects the iron stored in your body. Lower results can point to depleted iron stores, while inflammation can raise ferritin, so it is read with serum iron, transferrin saturation and the full blood count.

µmol/L

Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)

Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) estimates how much iron the blood can carry. It often changes when iron stores or inflammation change and is interpreted with serum iron, ferritin and transferrin saturation.

%

Transferrin Saturation

Transferrin saturation is the percentage of iron-binding sites filled with iron. It helps describe iron availability and is calculated alongside serum iron and TIBC, with ferritin adding storage context.

µmol/L

Zinc

Zinc is a mineral needed for immune function, wound healing and many enzymes. Inflammation can lower the blood result, while excess supplementation can affect copper, so context matters.

pmol/L

Active Vitamin B12 (HoloTC)

Active vitamin B12 (HoloTC) measures the portion of vitamin B12 available for cells to use. It can show low B12 status earlier than total B12 and is read with symptoms and related nutrient tests.
