Basic Nutrient Panel - Bioref

This panel targets the nutrients that most directly influence energy, oxygen delivery, and muscle function — the questions it answers are practical: Are your iron stores adequate to support red blood cell production and stamina? Is your B12 and folate status sufficient for healthy cell division and nerve function? Are magnesium and zinc — minerals involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions, muscle contraction, and immune function — within a healthy range? Ferritin, B12, and folate are especially meaningful together because deficiencies in any of them can produce overlapping symptoms like fatigue, so measuring them side by side helps clarify what's actually going on rather than guessing. The OmegaCheck adds a picture of your omega-3 fatty acid status, which relates to inflammation and cardiovascular health, rounding out both mineral and fatty-acid nutrition in one snapshot. Rather than ordering these five to six markers separately across multiple visits, a single blood draw gives you a coordinated baseline you can retest over time and discuss with a clinician. Please note that the vitamin D listed here is the 1,25-dihydroxy (active) form, which reflects kidney and calcium regulation rather than overall vitamin D stores — the 25-hydroxy test is usually preferred for assessing general vitamin D sufficiency.
