The Vitamins & Mineral Screening Package is a comprehensive health check that measures key vitamins and minerals in your blood to assess your nutritional status and overall well-being. This package checks for important nutrients like calcium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and chloride. These nutrients are essential for strong bones, healthy nerves and muscles, proper blood formation, and energy levels.

By identifying any deficiencies or imbalances, this screening helps you and your doctor understand your body’s needs and make informed decisions about your diet and lifestyle. Regular monitoring is especially important because vitamin and mineral imbalances can lead to fatigue, muscle cramps, weak bones, and other health concerns. This package is a simple and reliable way to check if your body is getting the nutrients it needs to function at its best.

What’s Included in my Package?

Below are the tests included in this package, along with what each one checks. Together, these tests provide a complete picture of your body’s vitamin and mineral health.

Test Name	What It Checks

Electrolytes (Na/K/Cl) (3)	Checks sodium, potassium, and chloride levels, which help control fluid balance and nerve signals.

Why Get this Vitamins & Mineral Screening Package?

Detect Hidden Deficiencies: Many vitamin and mineral deficiencies do not show clear symptoms at first. Early detection helps prevent complications like weak bones, low energy, and frequent illness.
Support Bone and Muscle Health: This package checks nutrients that are crucial for strong bones and muscles, reducing the risk of fractures, cramps, and weakness.
Monitor Energy and Blood Health: Iron and haemoglobin tests help spot anaemia, which can cause tiredness and poor concentration.
Personalised Health Guidance: Knowing your nutrient levels allows your doctor to recommend the right diet, supplements, or lifestyle changes tailored to your needs.
Convenient and Comprehensive: Instead of multiple separate tests, this package gives you a complete overview of your nutritional health in one simple blood test, saving time and effort.
