How can you get all your vitamin and mineral levels tested? hair analysis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Beware: There are some unethical laboratories that will offer pricey tests, deliver bogus results and offer an elaborate personalized protocol. Be sure that your practitioner is ethical and street-smart. Especially, hair analysis is usually a fraud. A competent physician, especially one focused on diet, lifestyle and nutrition, is your best guide here. Beyond d, B12 & iron, i'd not screen a healthy man.
