About This Test 

The Micronutrient Test looks at six critical nutrients that are required for optimal health. This convenient test checks Vitamin B12, Folate (B9), Vitamin D, Magnesium, Calcium, and Ferritin (Iron binding protein). 

Many people are deficient in these crucial nutrients, but the symptoms often overlap, making it difficult to identify the root cause without testing. Furthermore, nutritional deficiencies can have compounding effects. For example, low magnesium levels make it difficult to utilize Vitamin D. 

By identifying any deficiencies you may have through this at-home test, you can take action to improve your overall health. 

 

How Common is Nutrient Insufficiency? 

  • 94% of the US population does not meet the daily intake requirement for Vitamin D 
  • 52% of the US population does not meet the daily intake requirement for Magnesium.
  • 44% of the US population does not meet the daily intake requirement for Calcium
  • 30% of the US female population is iron deficient (assessed by Ferritin in this test).

How it Works

Healthyr uses microsampling technology to offer health tests that can be done in the comfort of your home. There is no need to visit a medical professional or lab– you collect your sample yourself using a simple finger prick.

Each kit will provide everything you need, including a lancet for the finger prick and an ADX card to apply your sample. Unlike traditional testing, only a few drops of blood are required!

The ADX card separates the blood solids from the blood plasma and once dry, you mail your sample to our lab. No need to visit the post office, just drop it in your local mailbox.

Once your sample arrives at the lab, your results are uploaded to your secure, HIPAA-protected online portal within three days.

Note: if you’d like to learn more, detailed sample collection instructions can be found on the instructions page here.

Calcium

What is it and how does it affect me?

Calcium is a mineral most often associated with healthy bones and teeth, although it also plays an important role in blood clotting, helping muscles to contract, and regulating normal heart rhythms and nerve functions.

Edit Content

Folate

What is it and how does it affect me?

B9, or Folate, is a vitamin your body uses to make DNA, other genetic material, and red blood cells. Folate also plays an important role in the brain development of fetuses. The CDC recommends that reproductive aged women take Folate supplements to prevent birth defects.

Edit Content

Ferritin

What is it and how does it affect me?

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron and delivers it to different tissues in your body. Red blood cells use iron to carry oxygen around your body. Other parts of your body, such as your liver, bone marrow, and muscles, also need iron to function properly.

Edit Content

Magnesium

What is it and how does it affect me?

Magnesium is an important mineral, playing a role in over 300 enzyme reactions in the human body. Its many functions include helping with muscle and nerve function, regulating blood pressure, and supporting the immune system.

Edit Content

Vitamin B12

What is it and how does it affect me?

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) plays an essential role in red blood cell formation, cell metabolism, nerve function and the production of DNA. Metformin is a common and effective treatment for diabetes and pre-diabetes, but may lower your B12 levels. Measuring B12 can help a care provider determine if metformin is an appropriate treatment option for you or if you could benefit from B12 supplements.

Edit Content

Vitamin D

What is it and how does it affect me?

Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium and regulates many other functions in your body, including inflammation, antioxidants, and neuroprotection. Healthy Vitamin D levels are associated with improved mental health, endurance, muscle function, and bone strength. High levels of physical activity in athletes may increase the body’s demand for Vitamin D.

Who is This Test For?

You Are Looking to Optimize Your Health & Nutrition
Each of the nutrients tested in the Micronutrient Test is responsible for a wide range of functions in the body such as energy production, nervous system regulation, muscle function, blood clotting, and much more. By analyzing your micronutrient levels, you can optimize your diet and supplement routine to improve your overall health.
You Eat a Plant-Based, Vegetarian, or Vegan Diet
Nutrients such as Vitamin B12, Ferritin, and Vitamin D are all difficult to obtain or absorb from non-animal food sources. When following a plant-based diet, it’s important to monitor your levels of these critical nutrients so you can identify gaps and supplement where needed.
You are Over 50 or Have a Condition That Impairs Nutrient Absorption
As we age, the body no longer absorbs nutrients as well as it once did. Similarly, conditions such as Celiac and Crohn’s Disease can impair the absorption of nutrients from your food. When nutrient absorption is impaired, it is important to monitor nutrient levels more closely.
You Are Experiencing Symptoms of a Nutrient Deficiency
Nutritional deficiencies can cause a range of symptoms. For example, if you’re feeling sluggish or tired, you could be deficient in Vitamin B12, Ferritin, or Vitamin D. If you are experiencing anxiety, you could be deficient in magnesium. This test can help identify if you need to adjust your diet or incorporate supplements.
You Take a Medication That Causes Nutrient Deficiency
Many common medications are linked with nutrient deficiencies. Such as: Birth control pills can cause Folate deficiency. Antacids can cause Vitamin B12 deficiency. Metformin can cause Vitamin B12 deficiency. Anti-seizure drugs can cause Folate and Vitamin D deficiency. PPIs can cause Vitamin B12 and Magnesium deficiency. Corticosteroids can cause Calcium and Vitamin D deficiency.

About Our Labs + Science

Accuracy + Reliability ​

Our tests use an accurate and reliable form of microsampling called Dried Blood Spot Testing.
This form of testing has been used since the 1960s in Neonatal care and for testing in remote locations. You may be familiar with the heel prick performed on newborns during their initial health assessment– this is Dried Blood Spot Testing. We use this same technology and have expanded it to accurately assess a wider range of diagnostic biomarkers to be able to provide reliable health assessment that is more convenient, accessible, and affordable.

Lab Safety + Sterility 

Our state-of-the-art lab is CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited. We pride ourselves on our use of validated and reliable testing methods as well as our stringent quality control measures.
