What is the Vitamins & Minerals blood test?
Our private Vitamins & Minerals blood test is a straightforward way to understand your body's levels of key nutrients. Many people book this test to proactively check their nutritional health, especially if they're feeling low on energy or want to support their general wellbeing. You don't need a GP referral to book this private blood test.
This specialised panel measures markers related to your iron status, including Iron, Ferritin, and Transferrin, which help assess your body's iron stores. It also looks at key vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and Folic Acid, which play vital roles in energy and overall wellbeing. It's important to remember that this test measures specific markers; a qualified clinician will interpret these findings.
Your small venous blood sample will be taken at our clinic in Dartford, Kent. The sample is then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for processing. Your results will be reviewed by a clinician and available in your secure MyScanHub online portal within 2–5 working days. You can book this test directly online with a one-off payment, and no GP referral is required.
