Whether you’re looking to address a new symptom you’re experiencing, or you have a specific health goal you’d like to reach, micronutrients may provide some insight.
From vitamin B12 and folate to magnesium and zinc, micronutrients help optimize your body’s performance. While macronutrients include fats, carbohydrates and proteins that provide energy in the form of calories, micronutrients include vitamins and minerals found in the foods we eat, and they play an important role in functions like digestion and hormone production.
Testing your micronutrient levels can empower you with insights into your diet and lifestyle so you can make informed decisions about your health. Labcorp OnDemand’s Micronutrient Test measures the levels of six essential micronutrients in your blood, including three vitamins (vitamin D, vitamin B12 and folate) and three minerals (magnesium, iodine and zinc).
Here’s a look at how people like you are using micronutrient testing to help guide their wellness journeys.
