The Vitamins & Minerals + ( Omegas, CMP & CBC) - Basic Plus panel contains 11 tests with 77 biomarkers.
Brief Description: The Vitamins & Minerals + (Omegas, CMP & CBC) - Basic Plus panel is a thorough health assessment tool that combines critical evaluations of vitamins and minerals, omega fatty acid levels, comprehensive metabolic function, and a complete blood profile. This panel is designed to provide a holistic view of an individual's health, identifying potential nutritional deficiencies, metabolic disorders, and hematological conditions. It's an essential panel for those seeking a detailed understanding of their overall health status and nutritional needs.
Collection Method: Blood Draw
Specimen Type: Whole Blood, Serum, and Plasma
Test Preparation: The patient should be fasting 9-12 hours prior to collection and collection should be done in the morning.
This panel may be ordered for individuals experiencing symptoms that could be attributed to nutritional deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, or hematological issues, such as fatigue, unexplained weight changes, mood fluctuations, and more. It's also suitable for those looking to optimize their health through a comprehensive nutritional and metabolic assessment, including individuals with known health conditions that could impact or be impacted by nutritional status and metabolic health.
Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets: Provides a detailed look at blood cells, helping to identify conditions like anemia, infection, and blood disorders.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel: Evaluates metabolic function including liver and kidney health, electrolyte and acid/base balance, and glucose levels.
Ferritin: Reflects the body's iron storage, crucial for diagnosing iron deficiency or overload.
Folate Serum: Essential for DNA synthesis and repair, red blood cell formation, and overall health.
Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity: Offers insights into iron metabolism, crucial for identifying various forms of anemia.
Magnesium Serum: Magnesium level assessment is vital for nerve, muscle, and bone health.
Omega -3 and -6 Fatty Acids: The balance of these essential fatty acids is important for cardiovascular health, brain function, and inflammation regulation.
Prealbumin: A marker of nutritional status and protein levels, helpful in assessing malnutrition.
QuestAssureD 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Total with D2 and D3: Measures vitamin D levels, which are critical for bone health, immune function, and overall well-being.
Transferrin: An iron-binding blood plasma protein, offering additional insight into iron metabolism and anemia.
Vitamin B12: Vital for nerve function, red blood cell production, and DNA synthesis.
For those aiming to deepen their understanding of personal health and wellness, advancing from the Vitamins & Minerals + (Omegas, CMP & CBC) - Basic Plus panel to more comprehensive evaluations offers an opportunity to uncover detailed insights into various health aspects.
Vitamins & Minerals + (Omegas, CMP & CBC) - Advanced Panel: This panel enriches the foundational assessments with pivotal tests such as Homocysteine and Zinc. Elevated levels of homocysteine can suggest increased risk for cardiovascular diseases and are influenced by B vitamins, making this marker crucial for individuals concerned about heart health. Zinc, integral for immune function, wound healing, and DNA synthesis, enhances the panel's ability to assess nutritional status and immune health. This advanced panel is particularly suited for individuals managing or at risk for chronic conditions where these additional markers can provide significant insights for health optimization.
Vitamins & Minerals + (Omegas, CMP & CBC) - Comprehensive Panel: The apex of health assessment, the Comprehensive panel, includes an extensive range of vitamins such as Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Vitamin K, alongside essential trace elements like Copper and Selenium, and Iodine. This panel is unmatched in its capacity to provide a comprehensive health overview, ideal for those with intricate health concerns or individuals dedicated to achieving peak health through detailed health monitoring and proactive management.
Transitioning to advanced panels empowers individuals and healthcare professionals with nuanced health data, facilitating finely tuned health strategies and interventions to optimize well-being and address specific health concerns.
The Basic Plus panel can help detect and manage a variety of conditions, including:
Nutritional deficiencies: Identifying insufficient levels of essential vitamins and minerals.
Metabolic disorders: Assessing liver and kidney function, glucose levels, and electrolyte balance.
Anemia: Diagnosing different types of anemia based on iron, ferritin, folate, and vitamin B12 levels.
Cardiovascular health: Omega fatty acid profiling aids in evaluating heart health and dietary needs.
Healthcare providers use the results to guide dietary recommendations, supplementation, and treatment plans aimed at correcting nutritional deficiencies and managing metabolic health. For instance, addressing low vitamin D levels with supplementation or dietary changes, or managing anemia with iron or vitamin B12 supplementation.
The Vitamins & Minerals + (Omegas, CMP & CBC) - Basic Plus Panel offers a comprehensive snapshot of an individual's health, providing critical data to support optimal well-being. By identifying potential nutritional deficiencies and metabolic imbalances, this panel aids in the proactive management of health, guiding personalized interventions to enhance overall health outcomes.
