Vegan test package - optimal

What tests are included in the vegan – optimal package?

The vegan-optimal package includes the following studies:

• Vitamin B12 – its deficiency can cause anemia, chronic fatigue, muscle weakness, as well as digestive problems such as stomach and intestinal complaints.
• Iron – iron deficiency can lead to anemia and weakness of the body.
.
• Zinc - a key element for the proper functioning of the immune system. There is a risk of its deficiency in people who follow vegetarian and vegan diets.
.
• Vitamin D – its deficiency is caused, among other things, by dietary deficits. Optimal levels of vitamin D are important for bone health, the immune system and overall well-being.
• Blood morphology – a basic test that assesses overall health and helps detect anemia or immune disorders.
.
• Calcium - testing its levels helps assess bone health and the body's mineral balance.
.
• Homocysteine - its elevated levels can indicate a potential risk of cardiovascular disease. It can be caused by B vitamin deficiencies, which underscores the importance of a proper diet.
• Total protein – is a parameter that allows assessment of the body's nutritional status. Its deficiencies can result in muscle weakness and reduced immunity.
.
• Albumin - its level in the blood is an indicator of nutritional status, allowing to assess possible protein malnutrition.
.
• Folic acid - determination of its level makes it possible to detect deficiencies, which can cause weakness, difficulty concentrating and the development of megaloblastic anemia.

Why is it worthwhile to perform a vegan – optimal testing package?

The Vegan Testing Package - Optimal was created for people following a plant-based diet who want to make sure their body is getting all the nutrients it needs. It is also worth considering these tests if you experience symptoms that may indicate nutritional deficiencies, such as chronic fatigue, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, hair loss or brittle nails. Regular monitoring of test results helps prevent diseases associated with deficiencies, such as anemia, osteoporosis, heart or nervous system diseases.

How to prepare for the test?

The test should be performed on an empty stomach (drinking a small amount of water is acceptable) and before taking medication, unless otherwise instructed by a doctor. The last meal of the previous day should be eaten no later than 6:00 p.m. It is recommended that blood be drawn in the morning, between 7:00 and 10:00 a.m.

Waiting time for result: up to 8 working days*
