Tested parameters

  • 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.
  • 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 is common in vegetarian diets and can lead to iron deficiency anemia.
  • B12 vitamin is crucial for the formation of red blood cells and the health of the nervous system. Deficiency in this vitamin, often found in vegetarian and vegan diets, can lead to megaloblastic anemia and neurological problems. By knowing your vitamin B12 levels, you can adjust your diet or supplementation to avoid deficiencies.
  • Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) is essential for the production of DNA and RNA and plays an important role in cell division. It is especially important during periods of rapid cell growth, such as infancy, childhood, adolescence, and pregnancy. Folic acid deficiency can cause megaloblastic anemia and problems with fetal development.
  • 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.
