What is Vitamins and Minerals Blood Test?
Low levels build slowly and the early signs are vague: tiredness, low mood, poor concentration, feeling the cold. Because they are vague, they are easy to live with for months without investigating.
Measuring is more useful than guessing, and it avoids supplementing for something you were never short of. We talk the results through and suggest what is actually worth taking, if anything.
