Description
This test is useful because vitamins play a big role in keeping your body healthy, supporting your immune system, energy, and growth. If you feel tired, weak, or have other health problems, this test can help your doctor find out if a vitamin imbalance is the cause.
What it Measures
The Complete Vitamins Profile includes a range of tests to check for both fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins:
| Vitamin Type | Vitamin Name | Main Function/Benefit |
| Fat-Soluble | Vitamin A | Supports vision, skin health, and immune function |
| Vitamin D | Helps absorb calcium for strong bones and teeth | |
| Vitamin E | Acts as an antioxidant, protects cells from damage | |
| Vitamin K | Important for blood clotting and bone health | |
| Water-Soluble | Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) | Turns food into energy, supports nerve function |
| Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) | Aids energy production, keeps skin healthy | |
| Vitamin B3 (Niacin) | Supports digestion, skin, and nerve health | |
| Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) | Needed for making hormones and energy from food | |
| Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) | Helps use and store energy from protein and carbohydrates | |
| Vitamin B7 (Biotin) | Supports healthy hair, skin, and nails | |
| Vitamin B9 (Folate/Folic Acid) | Needed for DNA and healthy red blood cells | |
| Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) | Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy | |
| Vitamin C | Boosts immune system, helps heal wounds, keeps skin healthy |
Each vitamin has a unique role in your body. Low or high levels can lead to different health issues, such as tiredness, weak bones, poor immunity, or nerve problems. This test provides a complete picture of your vitamin status, helping your doctor make the best recommendations for your health.
Why is it Important
- Detects Deficiencies Early
Many vitamin deficiencies do not cause symptoms right away. This test helps find problems early, so you can take action before they affect your health. - Guides Treatment and Diet
If you have symptoms like tiredness, weakness, or poor concentration, this test can help your doctor decide if you need supplements or changes in your diet. - Monitors Chronic Conditions
People with certain health conditions, like digestive problems or those taking specific medicines, may not absorb vitamins well. Regular testing helps manage these issues. - Supports Growth and Immunity
Children, pregnant women, and older adults need the right vitamins for growth, strong bones, and a healthy immune system. This test ensures they are getting enough. - Prevents Complications
Untreated vitamin imbalances can lead to serious problems like anemia, nerve damage, or weak bones. Early detection helps prevent these complications.
