Vitamin and mineral panels from $115.16 with the current 20% promotion; single vitamin D tests from $35.20 (pricing at time of writing).
At a glance
Vitamin and mineral panels measure a broad set of nutrient markers, including vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, ferritin, iron with TIBC, magnesium, and zinc, from a single blood draw to screen for deficiencies and excesses. They are built for people whose diet, medications, training load, or symptoms make nutrient status worth checking objectively. Results map each marker against its reference range, giving you a clear list of what is on target and what to review with your doctor.
Best suited for
- People following restrictive diets, vegan, vegetarian, keto, or low-calorie, that can narrow nutrient intake
- Anyone with fatigue, cramps, slow recovery, or mood changes who wants objective nutrient data to bring to their doctor
- Supplement users who want to verify what they take is actually correcting a measured gap
- Athletes and highly active people with elevated nutrient turnover
- Adults building a nutritional baseline to re-test and track over time

Key biomarker ranges
Commonly used adult reference ranges for markers this panel measures, labs vary, so always interpret results against your lab's stated ranges and with your doctor.
Commonly used cutoffs: below 20 ng/mL deficient, 20–30 insufficient, 30–60 a frequently cited target band; season and supplementation move levels substantially.
| Zone | Range |
|---|---|
| Deficient | 0–20 ng/mL |
| Insufficient | 20–30 ng/mL |
| Sufficient | 30–60 ng/mL |
| High | 60–100 ng/mL |
Commonly used reference ranges differ by sex, roughly 30–200 ng/mL is typical, with men’s upper bounds higher; inflammation can raise ferritin and mask low iron.
| Zone | Range |
|---|---|
| Low | 0–30 ng/mL |
| Typical range | 30–200 ng/mL |
| Elevated | 200–400 ng/mL |
The importance of testing
Nutrient shortfalls rarely announce themselves clearly. Fatigue, muscle cramps, slow recovery, and mood changes can each be associated with several different low markers, iron, B12, folate, magnesium, or vitamin D among them, so addressing a symptom by guessing at a supplement often misses the actual gap. A comprehensive panel measures these markers together, in one draw, so patterns become visible.
The panels on this page scale with how deep you want to go. The Basic Plus tier covers core markers, ferritin, folate, iron and TIBC, magnesium, prealbumin, transferrin, vitamin B12, and a QuestAssureD 25-hydroxyvitamin D with D2 and D3. The Advanced tier adds homocysteine, red blood cell magnesium, and zinc. The Omegas, CMP and CBC versions layer in omega fatty acid status, a comprehensive metabolic panel, and a complete blood count, connecting nutrient status to broader metabolic and blood-health markers.
Tested levels also make supplementation measurable instead of speculative. A baseline shows which markers actually run low; a re-test after a few months of dietary changes or targeted supplements shows whether they moved. That trend line, reviewed with your doctor, is far more useful than a shelf of untested supplements, and it can also flag markers that run unexpectedly high.

What do vitamin and mineral blood panels measure?
These panels measure circulating levels of key nutrients, such as vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, ferritin, iron with TIBC, magnesium, prealbumin, transferrin, and zinc, against laboratory reference ranges. Larger versions add omega fatty acids, a comprehensive metabolic panel, and a complete blood count for broader context.
Can I order nutrient testing without a doctor's visit?
Yes, these panels can be ordered online without a doctor's visit or a separate lab order. You buy the panel through the partner page, have blood drawn at a local patient service center, and receive results promptly online to review on your own or with your doctor.
Which panel tier should I choose?
The Basic Plus tier covers the core nutrient markers most people want checked first, while the Advanced tier adds homocysteine, red blood cell magnesium, and zinc. Choose an Omegas, CMP and CBC version if you also want omega fatty acid status, metabolic markers, and a blood count in the same draw; the Comprehensive panel is the widest option for a deep nutritional inventory.
What should I do if a nutrient marker comes back low?
Bring the result to your doctor before starting or changing supplements, since the right response depends on which marker is low and by how much. A follow-up test after a few months of changes shows whether the marker is trending back into range.
Is nutrient panel testing available in all US states?
No, direct-to-consumer lab testing is restricted or prohibited in New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, so residents of those states may be blocked at the partner's checkout. Residents of other US states can typically order online and use a nearby draw location.
