Evaluated Parameters
| Biomarker | Importance | Ideal Values |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D | Bone health, immunity and mood | 30-100 ng/mL |
| Magnesium | Muscle and nerve function + blood pressure regulation | 1.8-2.6 mg/dL |
| Ferritin | Iron reserves (prevents anemia) | Men: 30-400 ng/mL Women: 15-150 ng/mL |
| Transferrin | Iron transport in the blood | 200-360 mg/dL |
| Total Cholesterol | Overall cardiovascular risk | <200 mg/dL |
| LDL | "Bad cholesterol" – the main cause of arterial plaques | < 100 mg/dL |
| HDL | "Good cholesterol" – protects the heart | > 60 mg/dL |
| Triglycerides | Fats that increase heart risk | < 150 mg/dL |
| Vitamin B12 | Neurological health and blood cell production | > 300 pg/mL |

Why This Test?
1. Prevents diseases:
- High LDL + Low HDL → Increased cardiovascular risk
- Low Vitamin D + Magnesium → Bone and muscle weakness
2. Optimizes the diet:
- Reveals if you need to supplement **B12** (crucial for vegans)
- Shows whether food combinations improve absorption (e.g., vitamin C + iron)
Practical Example:
Result with Vitamin D = 20 ng/mL + LDL = 160 mg/dL suggests:
- Vitamin D supplementation
- Reduction of saturated fats

Consult a nutritionist for personalized guidance. Taking supplements without guidance can be dangerous!
