Micronutrient Deficiency Screen Test

Identify Hidden Nutritional Gaps Affecting Your Health

Do you often feel tired, notice hair loss, or struggle with low energy despite eating well? These could be signs of micronutrient deficiency—a condition where your body lacks essential vitamins and minerals needed for optimal function.

At DNA Labs India, we offer a comprehensive Micronutrient Deficiency Screen Test designed to measure critical nutrient levels in your body. Priced at an affordable ₹5500 (special 2026 offer), this test helps uncover the root cause of unexplained symptoms and empowers you to take corrective action with your healthcare provider.

What Is a Micronutrient Deficiency Screen Test?

Micronutrients—vitamins and minerals required in small amounts—are vital for growth, immunity, brain function, and energy production. When deficient, they create what experts call “hidden hunger” —a condition that affects your health without obvious signs until symptoms appear.

This blood test measures the levels of 8 key micronutrients to identify:

• Deficiencies (below optimal range)

• Toxicities (above safe levels)

Early detection allows for targeted supplementation and dietary adjustments, preventing long-term complications.

The 8 Micronutrients We Analyse

Who Should Take This Test?

Micronutrient deficiencies can affect anyone, but certain groups are at higher risk. Consider testing if you:

High-Risk Categories

• Pregnant or lactating women – increased nutritional demands

• Young children and adolescents – rapid growth phases

• Chronically ill patients – malabsorption or increased nutrient needs

• Elderly individuals – reduced dietary intake or absorption

• Alcohol dependents – impaired nutrient utilisation

Common Symptoms to Watch For

If you experience any combination of these symptoms persistently, a micronutrient screen can provide clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. What is the difference between a standard blood test and a micronutrient screen?

A standard blood count or chemistry panel checks overall health (like haemoglobin, liver function). A micronutrient screen specifically measures individual vitamin and mineral levels to identify subtle deficiencies that routine tests may miss.

Q2. How long does it take to get results?

Reports are typically available within 7 days of sample receipt at our lab. If your sample reaches us by Friday, you can expect results by the following Tuesday.

Q3. Can I take this test if I’m already on supplements?

You must stop all vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements 7 days before sample collection. This ensures the test reflects your natural nutrient status, not temporary elevations from supplements. Continue only life-saving medications after consulting your doctor.

Q4. Is fasting really necessary?

Yes, overnight fasting (10-12 hours) is mandatory. Food intake can temporarily alter levels of certain nutrients, leading to inaccurate results. Only plain water is allowed during the fast.

Q5. What do my results mean?

• Within optimal range: Your levels are adequate for your age and gender.

• Deficient: Levels below the reference range—your doctor may recommend dietary changes or supplements.

• Elevated/Toxic: Levels above safe limits—may indicate over-supplementation or metabolic issues requiring medical attention.

Q6. Can children take this test?

Yes. The test is safe for children when collected by trained phlebotomists. It’s particularly useful for children with growth issues, poor appetite, or chronic illnesses.

Q7. Is this test covered by health insurance?

Coverage varies by insurer and policy. Please check with your provider. We can provide a detailed invoice for reimbursement purposes.

Q8. What if my results are abnormal?

We recommend you consult a qualified doctor (physician, nutritionist, or relevant specialist). Do not self-prescribe supplements—excess can be as harmful as deficiency.
