Vitamin Lab Test (A, B3, B5 & Biotin)

The Vitamin Test (A, B3, B5 & Biotin) provides a detailed evaluation of essential vitamins that are critical for maintaining overall health. It measures vitamin A, niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), and biotin (B7), offering valuable insights into nutrients that are not commonly assessed in standard healthcare settings. This test is particularly useful for individuals with dietary limitations or specific health concerns related to these vitamins.

For a more comprehensive nutritional assessment, this test can be combined with a Nutrition Test, which evaluates 8 essential minerals and their ratios.

Vitamins Measured in the Test:

• Vitamin A (Retinol): Essential for vision, skin health, and embryonic development.
• Vitamin B3 (Niacin): Supports energy metabolism, reduces fatigue, and promotes nervous system function.
• Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid): Crucial for energy metabolism and mental performance, found in most foods.
• Vitamin B7 (Biotin): Vital for macronutrient metabolism and helps maintain healthy skin, hair, and the nervous system.

How the Test Works

The Vitamin Test is designed for at-home use and requires a small blood sample collected through a simple finger prick. The test is most effective when performed on an empty stomach in the morning. Once the sample is collected, it is sent to a certified laboratory using prepaid packaging provided in the kit. Digital results are delivered after analysis, offering a comprehensive overview of vitamin levels.

Key Vitamins Explained

• Vitamin A: A fat-soluble vitamin primarily found in animal-based foods, essential for vision, healthy skin, and embryonic development. Deficiency can lead to conditions like night blindness and dry skin.

• Niacin (Vitamin B3): A water-soluble vitamin that supports energy production and nervous system health. Monitoring niacin levels helps prevent conditions such as pellagra, which occurs due to severe deficiency.

• Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): This vitamin plays a key role in breaking down fats and carbohydrates for energy and contributes to better energy utilization and mental performance.

• Biotin (Vitamin B7): Essential for macronutrient metabolism, biotin also supports the health of skin, hair, and nails. Deficiency can lead to hair thinning, brittle nails, and skin rashes.

The Vitamin Test (A, B3, B5 & Biotin) is beneficial for individuals experiencing symptoms such as skin issues, hair loss, or fatigue, which may indicate vitamin deficiencies. It is also ideal for those following restrictive diets, such as vegans or vegetarians, and people with health conditions like Crohn’s disease or celiac disease, which can impair nutrient absorption.

Comprehensive Health Management

The Vitamin Test (A, B3, B5 & Biotin) offers a clear understanding of key vitamin levels, helping to identify potential deficiencies and support overall health strategies. By monitoring and optimizing vitamin intake, individuals can take proactive steps toward better health and well-being.
