Vitamin deficiencies affect your overall health, but will your blood test detect them?

CBC - Complete blood count (measures red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and iron)

BMP - Basic metabolic panel (measures all basic organ systems and a few nutrients)

Neither of these tests will actually detect all of your nutritional deficiencies. What’s happening in the blood is not happening inside the cell.

Classical nutritional deficiencies - Severe deficiencies like scurvy, rickets, pellagra, or beriberi

Subclinical nutritional deficiencies - Could relate to repair, longevity, or protecting the immune system


Subclinical vitamin deficiency symptoms:

 • Vitamin A - Problems with night vision

 • Vitamin D - Low back pain

 • Vitamin E - Weak muscles

 • Vitamin K1 - Bruising

 • Vitamin B1 - Anxiety

 • Vitamin B2 - Cracked corners of the mouth or lips

 • Biotin - Problems with your nails and hair loss

 • Vitamin C - Bleeding gums and fatigue


How to test nutrient deficiencies: Use a blood test that evaluates these nutrients off of your lymphocytes. A company called SpectraCell specializes in this.
