Essential Vitamin and Minerals Blood Test FAQs
The Essential Vitamin and Minerals Blood Test is not suitable for finger prick collection at home because it includes trace minerals such as zinc which require a venous blood draw for accurate measurement. You can arrange for a healthcare professional to do a venous blood draw or you can visit one of our partner clinics to have your blood taken. Lastly, we can also arrange for a nurse to visit you at home or at work if you prefer.
It's best to avoid taking any vitamin or mineral supplements during the 24 hours before your test.
This test requires a venous blood draw which may not be suitable for children. In particular, our partner clinics are not able to take blood from children under 18 years of age.
