Main ones recommended on here for testing is folate, ferritin, b12 and vitamin D.

Best to test for deficiencies and supplement where necessary, then retest.
This isn’t ideal in every case eg magnesium, where the blood test isn’t reliable as it’s stored in bones and tissues.
In your profile you say you take vitamin C, vitamin B complex, Coenzyme Q10 and Acetyl L-Carnitine. Have you had B12 tested? The rest are good, & often recommended for hypers. Vitamin C can be safety taken even if not deficient.
Remember B complex will contain biotin & should be left off 1 week before blood test, in some cases it can interfere with testing process and skew result.
