Nutrition Test

This test is recommended for people who want to assess their nutritional status and improve their overall health. It is particularly useful for those who:

• Want to better understand how their diet is affecting their health.
• Want to identify and correct nutritional deficiencies.
• Are following specific diets, such as vegetarian or vegan .
• Aim to improve cardiovascular and metabolic health.
• Experience symptoms of nutritional deficiencies, such as fatigue, weakness or problems concentrating.

By taking this test, you will obtain crucial information to adjust your diet and lifestyle, thus promoting an adequate nutritional balance and preventing possible nutritional deficiencies that may affect your health and well-being.

• Vitamin D is crucial for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation. Adequate levels of vitamin D help with calcium absorption and bone strength. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to problems such as osteoporosis, muscle weakness, and an increased risk of infections.
• Magnesium is essential for muscle, nerve and enzyme function. This mineral plays an important role in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the human body, helping to regulate blood pressure and the immune system. Magnesium deficiency can lead to cramps, muscle weakness and heart problems.
• Transferrin is a protein that transports iron in the blood. Measuring transferrin levels helps assess the body's ability to transport iron, which is essential for the production of red blood cells. Abnormal transferrin levels may indicate problems with iron metabolism.
• Ferritin stores iron in the body, which is essential for the production of hemoglobin and the transport of oxygen. Low ferritin levels may indicate iron deficiency, which can lead to iron deficiency anemia.
• Total cholesterol is a fatty substance that is essential for the production of hormones and vitamin D, and for the formation of healthy cells. However, high levels of total cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease.
• LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) Known as "bad cholesterol," high levels of LDL can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease.
• HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) Known as "good cholesterol," HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the blood, transporting it back to the liver to be eliminated from the body. Adequate levels of HDL are important for cardiovascular health.
• Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood. High levels of triglycerides can increase the risk of heart disease and are often associated with other metabolic problems, such as type 2 diabetes.
• Vitamin B12 is essential for the formation of red blood cells and the health of the nervous system. A deficiency in this vitamin can lead to megaloblastic anemia and neurological problems. By knowing your vitamin B12 levels, you can adjust your diet or supplementation to avoid deficiencies.
