Dr. Stephen Southard answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Unfortunately: There is no single test to determine all micronutrient deficiencies. Each individual micronutrient would need to be tested for. But in general people don't usually require extensive nutritional testing unless there is a concern for particular deficiencies based on underling medical conditions or symptoms.
