About this test

Everything you need to know about Vitamins and Minerals

Tiredness, poor concentration, low mood, hair thinning, breathlessness on the stairs — a surprising number of everyday complaints trace back to a nutrient that has quietly run low, and for women iron is the usual suspect: heavy periods, pregnancy and a plant-based diet all drain it. This panel checks the ones that matter most: vitamin D, vitamin B12 and folic acid; a complete iron picture (ferritin, serum iron, transferrin, total iron binding capacity and transferrin saturation); and calcium, magnesium and albumin.

Because it measures both stored and circulating iron, it can tell the difference between low stores that will become a problem and a genuine deficiency now. Results come with a written explanation and, where useful, straightforward advice on diet or supplementation.

Albumin Calcium Ferritin Folic Acid Iron Magnesium Total Iron Binding Capacity Transferrin Transferrin Saturation Vitamin B12 Vitamin D
Vitamin DLow levels are very common in the UK, especially from October to April.
Vitamin B12 & Folic AcidNeeded for red blood cells and nerve function; folate matters before and during pregnancy.
Ferritin, Iron, Transferrin, TIBC & SaturationTogether they show iron stores, iron in circulation and how much capacity is in use.
Calcium, Magnesium & AlbuminMinerals for bones, muscles and nerves; albumin helps interpret the calcium result.
Who it's for

Worth considering if

  • Ongoing tiredness or low energy without an obvious cause
  • Heavy periods, or recent pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Vegetarian, vegan or restricted diets (B12 and iron)
  • Planning a pregnancy (folate, iron and vitamin D) or checking a supplement routine is working
Important: A blood test is not a diagnosis on its own. Where something needs looking at, we tell you what it means and what to do next. If you are unwell now, please see your GP or call 111 rather than waiting for a test.

Frequently Asked

Vitamins and Minerals — FAQs

Should I stop my supplements before the test?
Not unless we tell you to. If you want to know what your levels are without supplements, pause them for a week or two beforehand and mention it at the appointment; otherwise carry on as normal so we see your real-world level.
Do I need to fast?
No. Iron can be slightly affected by a very recent iron-rich meal or supplement, so if you take iron tablets, take them after your appointment that day.
My ferritin is “in range” but low — does that matter?
Often, yes. Many women feel noticeably better once ferritin is comfortably above the bottom of the range, particularly with heavy periods or hair loss. Our clinician explains your level in context rather than just whether it is inside the line.
Is this the same as the Women’s Premier Health check?
No — Premier Health is a broad 18-area panel that includes nutritional and iron markers alongside hormones, thyroid, heart, liver, kidney and other checks. This test focuses only on vitamins and minerals, at a lower price.
Where is the test done?
44 Crawford Street, London W1H 1JS — a short walk from Marylebone and Edgware Road stations. Your sample is taken at the clinic by our clinical team; you do not need to bring anything.
How long does the appointment take?
About 15 minutes. If you have booked several tests they are all done in the same visit.
Can I book several tests at once?
Yes. Use “Add to booking” on each test and then “Book” in the bar at the bottom — they go into one appointment and one payment. Home test kits are ordered separately, because they are posted to you.
How do I pay, and can I cancel?
Pay online when you book — by card or bank transfer — or at the clinic where that option is offered. You can cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before your appointment for a full refund.
How do I get my results?
Results are released to your secure account and explained by our clinical team in a written summary, with a call where something needs talking through. Turnaround depends on the test: routine blood panels are quicker than genetic or DNA analysis, and we tell you what to expect at your appointment.
