At a glance

Vitamin and mineral blood test panels measure key micronutrients, including iron, ferritin, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin D (D2 and D3), magnesium, and zinc, and show where your levels sit relative to laboratory reference ranges. They are designed for adults who want objective data on their nutritional status before adjusting diet or supplements. Options range from a four-test basic screen to comprehensive panels that add omega-3 fatty acids, a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), and a complete blood count (CBC).

Best suited for

  • Adults who want a measured baseline of key vitamin and mineral levels before changing their diet or supplements
  • People following restrictive eating patterns (vegan, vegetarian, keto, or calorie-restricted) who want to check the nutrients most often affected
  • Supplement users who would rather verify their levels and track trends than dose on guesswork
  • Anyone discussing low energy with their doctor who wants recent labs for markers associated with iron status, B12, and vitamin D
  • Health-conscious adults adding nutrient testing to an annual wellness routine

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.

Ferritin (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.

Elevated200400 ng/mL
Vitamin D (25-OH) (ng/mL)

Commonly used cutoffs: below 20 ng/mL deficient, 20–30 insufficient, 30–60 a frequently cited target band; season and supplementation move levels substantially.

The importance of testing

Micronutrient status is easy to guess at and hard to actually know. A vitamin and mineral panel replaces guesswork with measured values, showing which nutrients your body has enough of, which are running low, and, in some cases, which may be in excess. The core tests cover iron status (iron, total iron binding capacity, ferritin, transferrin), B vitamins (folate and B12), vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc, nutrients with documented roles in energy metabolism, oxygen transport, immune function, and bone health.

The panels in this promotion are tiered, so you can match depth to your situation. The Basic panel is a four-test screen of ferritin, folate, iron and TIBC, and serum magnesium. Basic Plus adds vitamin D, vitamin B12, transferrin, and prealbumin; Advanced layers in homocysteine, red-blood-cell magnesium, and zinc; Comprehensive extends the analysis to a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. The combined panels pair nutrient testing with omega-3 fatty acids, a comprehensive metabolic panel, and a complete blood count for a wider snapshot that includes markers associated with blood sugar, kidney and liver function, and red blood cell health.

Results are most useful as a baseline and a trend line. A single draw tells you where you stand today; repeat testing after a diet change or a new supplement shows whether the change is actually moving your numbers. Bring out-of-range or borderline values to your doctor, low ferritin or B12, for example, are markers associated with fatigue and anemia, and they deserve professional interpretation before you act on them.

Frequently asked questions

What do vitamin and mineral blood test panels measure?

These panels measure circulating levels of essential micronutrients, iron, total iron binding capacity, ferritin, folate, vitamin B12, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (D2 and D3), magnesium, and zinc, depending on the tier you choose. Larger panels add homocysteine, prealbumin, transferrin, and trace elements, and the combined versions also include omega-3 fatty acids, a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), and a complete blood count (CBC). Together they show which nutrients are in range, which are low, and which may be in excess.

Which vitamin and mineral panel should I choose?

The Basic panel (ferritin, folate, iron and TIBC, serum magnesium) is the most affordable starting point for a first-time nutrient check. Choose Basic Plus if you also want vitamin D and B12, two of the most commonly checked nutrients, or Advanced for homocysteine, red-blood-cell magnesium, and zinc. The + Omegas, CMP & CBC versions make sense if you want nutrient data alongside a broader metabolic and blood-count snapshot in a single draw.

Can I order these tests without a doctor's visit?

Yes, these panels are ordered directly online through the partner page, with no doctor's referral required, and the blood draw is completed at a local patient service center. Detailed reports are delivered to your account so you can review your nutritional status and share the results with your own doctor.

Is direct-to-consumer lab testing available in every US state?

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. If you live elsewhere in the US, you can typically order online and test at a nearby lab location.

How does the 20% promotion work?

Enter promotion code ULTAVMN at checkout to save 20% on the Vitamins, Minerals & Nutrients Lab Test Panels. The discounted prices shown here reflect the promotion at the time of writing; confirm current pricing and availability on the partner page before ordering.

What should I do with my results?

Review them with your doctor, especially any values flagged as out of range or borderline. Nutrient results are most informative as a trend: a baseline now and a follow-up test after a diet or supplement change show whether your numbers are moving in the direction you want. These tests provide screening information only, they are not intended to confirm any condition.
