Blood test to measure iron, vitamin B12, and folate levels.
Specialty biomarker testing measures advanced markers that go beyond standard blood panels to provide deeper insight into specific biological pathways. These tests are commonly used in functional and integrative medicine to identify root causes of symptoms, assess cellular health, and guide personalized treatment protocols. Markers like IGF-1 reflect growth hormone activity and aging, lipoprotein(a) reveals inherited cardiovascular risk invisible to standard lipid panels, and neurotransmitter profiles can explain mood and cognitive symptoms. Results enable highly targeted interventions that standard tests would miss.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
People working with functional or integrative medicine practitioners. Those seeking root-cause analysis beyond standard blood work. Longevity enthusiasts tracking advanced biomarkers. Anyone with persistent symptoms despite normal standard labs.
What's Included
Preparation Required
Fasting may be required depending on the specific marker. Follow your clinic's instructions. Some tests require morning samples for accurate results. Bring a list of all supplements — many affect these markers.
Biomarkers Tested
6A mineral essential for oxygen transport (in hemoglobin), energy production, and immune function. Serum iron measures the amount circulating in blood, but ferritin and TIBC provide a more complete picture of iron status.
Transferrin is a protein that binds and transports iron in the blood. Abnormal levels can indicate iron metabolism disorders.
The percentage of transferrin (iron-transporting protein) that is carrying iron. Calculated from serum iron and TIBC. Low saturation indicates iron deficiency; high saturation may indicate hemochromatosis (iron overload).
The primary iron storage protein. Ferritin reflects total body iron stores and is the first marker to drop in iron deficiency. However, ferritin also rises with inflammation, infection, and liver disease, which can mask true iron deficiency.
Active vitamin B12 is the biologically active form of vitamin B12 that is essential for many physiological processes in the body, including the production of red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and nerve function.
Essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and red blood cell formation. Folate deficiency causes megaloblastic anemia and, during pregnancy, increases the risk of neural tube defects. Works closely with vitamin B12.
