This panel includes the following test:

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)

Ferritin

Magnesium

Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)

Vitamin A

Vitamin B12 Folate

Vitamin C

Vitamin E

Vitamin D

Vitamin K1

Zinc

Fasting not required.

Additional information about each test is listed below:

A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) is a blood test that measures 14 substances in your blood to provide a picture of your body's chemical balance and metabolism.

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in cells and releases it when the body needs it. Ferritin is found in cells in the liver, spleen, bone marrow, and other tissues.

A magnesium blood test measures the amount of magnesium in your blood. Magnesium is a mineral that helps your heart, muscles, and nerves function properly, and it also helps regulate blood sugar and blood pressure.

Total iron binding capacity (TIBC) is a blood test that measures how well your blood can bind and transport iron. It's a key test for diagnosing iron metabolism disorders and inflammatory diseases.

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for many bodily functions, including vision, growth, and the immune system.

Vitamin B12 folate is a vital vitamin that helps the brain, nerves, and blood cells function and develop. It's found in animal products like meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy. Some breakfast cereals and nutritional yeasts are also fortified with vitamin B12.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that's important for many bodily functions.

Vitamin E is a nutrient that's important to vision, reproduction, and the health of your blood, brain and skin.

A vitamin D lab test, also known as a 25-hydroxy vitamin D test, measures the amount of vitamin D in your blood.

Vitamin K1, also known as phylloquinone, is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps with blood clotting and calcium binding in bones and tissues. It's the most common form of vitamin K and is primarily found in plant foods.

A zinc blood test measures the amount of zinc in your blood to help diagnose a zinc deficiency or excess. Zinc is a mineral that's important for many bodily functions, including: Immune function, Wound healing, Skin health, Metabolism, Cellular growth, and DNA and protein synthesis.
