Magnesium, Vitamin B12, Iron & Ferritin Test Panel
Feeling tired, weak, or mentally foggy isn't always just a busy lifestyle, it may be your body's way of signaling a nutritional imbalance. The ICare Magnesium, Vitamin B12, Iron & Ferritin Test Panel provides a comprehensive evaluation of four essential nutrients that play a critical role in energy production, red blood cell formation, muscle function, nerve health, and overall well-being.
Deficiencies in magnesium, vitamin B12, iron, or ferritin are among the most common nutritional imbalances and can develop gradually, often before obvious symptoms appear. This comprehensive panel helps identify potential deficiencies so you and your healthcare provider can develop a personalized plan to optimize your health.
Whether you're experiencing persistent fatigue, following a specialized diet, managing a chronic health condition, or taking a proactive approach to preventive care, this panel provides valuable insight into your nutritional health.
With ICare's concierge mobile laboratory services, advanced nutritional testing is delivered directly to your home, office, or preferred location.
What Does This Test Measure?
The Magnesium, Vitamin B12, Iron & Ferritin Test Panel evaluates four essential nutrients that support healthy body function.
Magnesium
Magnesium supports:
Muscle contraction and relaxation
Healthy nerve function
Heart rhythm
Energy production
Bone health
Electrolyte balance
Low magnesium levels may contribute to muscle cramps, fatigue, weakness, irregular heartbeat, or numbness and tingling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is essential for:
Healthy red blood cell production
Brain and nervous system function
DNA synthesis
Energy metabolism
A vitamin B12 deficiency may contribute to fatigue, weakness, memory changes, numbness, balance problems, and certain types of anemia.
Iron
Iron is a vital mineral required for the production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body.
Low iron levels may contribute to:
Fatigue
Weakness
Shortness of breath
Decreased exercise tolerance
Iron deficiency anemia
Ferritin
Ferritin measures the amount of stored iron in your body and is often one of the earliest indicators of iron deficiency.
Evaluating ferritin alongside iron levels provides a more complete assessment of your body's iron reserves and helps distinguish between different causes of anemia and fatigue.
