What is Nutritional Health Blood Test?
Cutting out food groups, whether by choice or necessity, changes what you take in. Some gaps take a long time to show up, and some show up as symptoms nobody connects to diet.
The panel gives you a picture of where you currently stand. A pharmacist talks it through and, where a gap looks significant, will point you towards a dietitian or your GP.
