Cheapest Vitamins' blood test?

[Carlax]

Hi there,

I am struggling to find a cheap vitamins' blood test from the link below. I was unable to locate one comprehensive one for those Vitamins that are relevant to Thyroid's health ( D, B12, C, Magnesium, Iron etc).

Am I missing something?

Many Thanks in advance as always

You wont get one that includes all of them.

Cheapest way to get key nutrients tested - Vit D, B12, Folate, Ferritin - is with the Advanced Thyroid Function Test with Medichecks and that is a full thyroid panel plus those vitamins. If you do the tests individually it will cost a lot more.

Blue Horizon Premium Gold includes magnesium but to be honest there's no point in testing magnesium with a serum test (which is the one included) because about 99% of magnesium is stored in bone, muscles and soft tissues, leaving about 1% in the blood. So testing what's in the blood isn't giving an accurate picture of our magnesium status. A red cell magnesium test is the better indicator of magnesium status, not the standard serum magnesium test. The red cell test is expensive and requires phlebotomy which is why it's not included in these bundles.

I don't think it's worth testing Vit C.

You could check out Thriva but I don't like the way they operate so no idea what they offer and how much it costs.
