Our body needs nutrients to grow, develop, and function properly; nutrients can be classified into two groups - macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients are the major parts of our food, while micronutrients are, as the name suggests the minor parts. However, micronutrients play an important role in helping our body grow and be able to defend itself. Micronutrients include vitamins and minerals. There are 13 different kinds of vitamins that our body needs for functioning well. Each vitamin plays a specific role and deficiency of any one can cause health issues.

A Vitamin Deficiency Test can help in diagnosing if you are deficient in any vitamins and help you take the necessary steps to improve the condition. A Vitamin Test in Vijaya Pathlabs Pvt Ltd is generally a blood test that can help in checking for the levels of vitamins. The Vitamin Test sample is taken by the phlebotomist by taking a small amount of blood from your vein. The sample is then sent to the lab to perform the test specific to the Vitamin Deficiency Test you have chosen.

Some symptoms that people who have nutrient deficiencies might experience:

Why Vitamin Testing is Important?

Vitamins play a highly important role in many functions in the body. Vitamin deficiencies could seriously impact a person's health and cause complications. Some important functions of vitamins are:

• Vitamin A: Vitamin A is an antioxidant that can come from plant and animal sources. It plays an important role in vision, bone growth, reproduction, cell functions, and the immune system.
• Vitamin B: There are different B vitamins like B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, etc. B vitamins help in making energy from food, in forming red blood cells, etc.
• Vitamin C: Vitamin C is also an antioxidant. Vitamin C plays an important role in healing and iron absorption. It is also important for the skin, bones, and connective tissue.
• Vitamin D: Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. It plays a role in the nerve, muscle, and immune system. A deficiency of vitamin D can lead to conditions like osteoporosis and rickets. A Vitamin D Test is generally recommended for older patients as they are at higher risk for its deficiency.
• Vitamin E: Vitamin E is an antioxidant that plays a role in the immune system and metabolic processes.
• Vitamin K: Vitamin K helps in making proteins for healthy bones & tissues, blood clotting. A deficiency of vitamin K can cause too much bleeding.

A Vitamin Test in Vijaya Pathlabs Pvt Ltd can check if the body lacks any of the essential vitamins listed above.
