What Vitamins & Minerals Can You Test For?
At BetterYou, you can identify your nutrient quantities with our at-home health test kits:
- Vitamin D - Roughly 1 in 5 people in the UK suffer from this deficiency. Our Vitamin D test kits can help you identify if you need to improve your levels. You can determine whether you need to take vitamin D supplements to support your intake.
- Vitamin B12 - You can determine if you are at risk of low levels with our Vitamin B12 test kit. Checking your amount is essential to know if you require vitamin B supplements to bolster your intake.
- Iron - Our at home iron test can determine your requirement for iron supplements. The iron test kit specifically measures your ferritin levels, which is the recommended marker to test for iron.
Support your health, and avoid deficiency, with pill-free supplements designed to encourage optimal intake.
Testing For Deficiency
Monitoring your levels with a vitamin and mineral test benefits your health by identifying deficiency. When your nutrient levels become too low, you may suffer from harmful side effects:
- Vitamin D deficiency can cause aching bones and weak muscles, so it is vital you obtain optimal amounts to benefit these areas of your body.
- Vitamin B12 deficiency could mean you are fatigued and experience a poor mood. A vitamin test kit can benefit your energy levels and help to boost your mood, once you have stabilised your nutritional intake.
- Iron deficiency can lead to fatigue and shortness of breath. Using our mineral tests can benefit your energy by ensuring your cells are receiving the vital oxygen they need by maintaining iron intake.
