Key Vitamins Analyzed

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin): This vitamin is crucial for converting food into energy. It supports healthy skin, hair, eyes, liver function, and the nervous system. Moreover, Vitamin B12 plays a critical role in forming red blood cells and synthesizing DNA.
Folate (Vitamin B9): Folic acid, a synthetic form of folate, is vital for growth and red blood cell formation. It becomes especially important during pregnancy for cell division.
Vitamin D: More than just a vitamin, Vitamin D acts as a steroid hormone, essential for bones, teeth, and immune health. Your skin synthesizes it from sun exposure, affecting how your body absorbs phosphorus and calcium.
Vitamin E: As a powerful antioxidant, Vitamin E safeguards cells from oxidative stress. Additionally, it aids in immune function and blood clot prevention.
Coenzyme Q10 (Q10): Q10, crucial for cellular energy metabolism, decreases with age. Testing for Q10 is especially important for individuals over 50 to promote healthy aging.

Importance of Analysis

Vitamin B12 & Folate: These two work together to maintain healthy nerve cells and blood cell production. Insufficient levels can cause fatigue and neurological issues. They also regulate homocysteine levels, impacting cardiovascular health.
Vitamin D: Essential during the less sunny months, Vitamin D testing ensures you maintain adequate levels for bone and immune health.
Vitamin E: Analyzing Vitamin E levels is crucial for understanding your body's ability to fight oxidative stress and maintain immune health.
Coenzyme Q10 (Q10): Testing for Q10 becomes increasingly important as you age, ensuring your cells metabolize energy effectively.

Who Should Take This Test?
