Vitamin & Mineral Deficiency Test
Identify Nutritional Gaps. Improve Energy, Immunity, and Overall Health.
What Is a Vitamin & Mineral Deficiency Test?
A Vitamin & Mineral Deficiency Test is a blood test that checks for essential nutrients your body needs to function at its best. Deficiencies are more common than most people think — even among individuals who appear to have a healthy lifestyle.
At Regis Medical, our targeted deficiency panel is designed to uncover hidden imbalances that may be contributing to symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, brain fog, weakened immunity, or hormonal disruptions.
Early detection allows for timely correction through nutrition, supplementation, or further medical evaluation — giving you a clearer path to feeling better and functioning optimally.
Why Is Nutrient Testing Important?
Vitamins and minerals are essential for nearly every function in the body — from energy production and nerve signalling to immune defence and hormonal regulation. When these nutrients are lacking, you may experience vague or persistent symptoms that are often mistaken for stress, overwork, or normal aging.
Regular nutrient testing can help:
- Identify the root cause of fatigue, brain fog, or hair loss
- Prevent longer-term health complications due to deficiencies
- Support your body’s recovery after illness, stress, or surgery
- Ensure your supplement or dietary plan is effective and personalised
With the right testing, your care becomes more targeted — and your results, more meaningful.
Common Symptoms of Vitamin or Mineral Deficiency
If you’re experiencing persistent fatigue, mood changes, hair loss, or physical discomfort, nutrient testing may uncover an underlying cause. Below are some of the most common deficiencies and their warning signs:
Vitamin D Deficiency
- Fatigue or low energy
- Muscle aches or weakness
- Frequent colds or infections
- Bone or back pain
- Low mood or depressive symptoms
- Hair thinning
Potential Risks:
- Weakened immunity (increased risk of respiratory infections)
- Osteoporosis and fractures due to reduced calcium absorption
- Muscle weakness or falls (especially in older adults)
- Autoimmune disorders (higher risk or faster progression)
- Chronic fatigue and mood disorders like depression
Vitamin B12 Deficiency
- Persistent tiredness or exhaustion
- Numbness or tingling in hands and feet
- Poor memory or concentration ("brain fog")
- Pale skin or shortness of breath
- Mood swings, anxiety, or low mood
- Smooth or sore tongue
Potential Risks:
- Megaloblastic anemia (large, underdeveloped red blood cells)
- Nerve damage – may become irreversible if untreated
- Cognitive decline or dementia-like symptoms
- Infertility or recurrent miscarriage
- Neurological problems in infants if maternal deficiency during pregnancy
Folate (Vitamin B9) Deficiency
- Fatigue and weakness
- Irritability or mood changes
- Headaches
- Mouth sores or swollen tongue
- Pale skin or breathlessness
Potential Risks:
- Anemia – similar to B12-related anemia
- Neural tube defects in unborn babies (e.g., spina bifida)
- Poor fetal development or pregnancy complications
- Elevated homocysteine, increasing heart disease risk
Iron Deficiency
- Persistent fatigue
- Pale skin and cold hands/feet
- Dizziness or headaches
- Shortness of breath with mild exertion
- Brittle nails or hair loss
- Craving non-food substances (e.g., ice or clay – pica)
Potential Risks:

- Weakened immunity
- Pregnancy complications – such as preterm birth and low birth weight
Magnesium Deficiency
- Muscle cramps or twitching
- Restless sleep or insomnia
- Anxiety or irritability
- Constipation
- Irregular heartbeat or palpitations
- Tingling or numbness
Potential Risks:
- Increased risk of high blood pressure and heart disease
- Migraines or chronic headaches
- Worsened PMS symptoms

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, a vitamin and mineral deficiency panel may provide clarity — and guide the right next steps in your health plan.
