Micronutrient Panel

Comprehensive blood analysis measuring intracellular levels of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids to identify deficiencies driving suboptimal health, accelerated ageing, and impaired cellular function.

Micronutrient deficiencies are among the most underdiagnosed drivers of accelerated biological ageing. Standard serum blood tests measure only what circulates in plasma at a single point in time; comprehensive micronutrient panels assess intracellular nutrient status over a rolling 90-day period, revealing chronic deficiencies that serum-only testing routinely misses. At Lifespan Asia, the micronutrient panel is a foundational diagnostic used to guide precision supplementation and IV nutrient therapy protocols. The panel covers fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K2), water-soluble B-vitamins including B12, folate, and B6, essential minerals such as magnesium, zinc, selenium, and iodine, amino acid profiles, antioxidant capacity (glutathione, coenzyme Q10, alpha-lipoic acid), and omega-3 fatty acid index. Deficiencies in magnesium and vitamin D are particularly prevalent among high-performing urban professionals in Singapore's indoor-dominated environment, and both nutrients play critical roles in cardiovascular health, immune function, and neurological performance. Zinc and selenium insufficiency impairs thyroid function and antioxidant defence systems that protect DNA from oxidative damage — a primary driver of biological ageing. Results from the micronutrient panel directly inform Lifespan Asia's IV therapy formulations, ensuring that nutrient infusions correct documented deficiencies rather than applying generic cocktails. The panel also benchmarks a client's nutritional status at baseline, enabling objective measurement of improvement following intervention. Re-testing at three to six month intervals tracks the effectiveness of supplementation programmes and adjusts protocols as micronutrient status normalises.
