AI Quick Summary

The PlexusDx Nutrition Deficiency Blood Test measures essential nutrient and blood health biomarkers—including albumin, ferritin, folate (B9), hematocrit, homocysteine, vitamin B12, and vitamin D—to provide insight into nutritional status, metabolic function, and cardiovascular support. Results are delivered through the PlexusDx Results Portal, where biomarker levels are translated into clear explanations and personalized nutrition and supplement recommendations. This panel is commonly used to identify potential nutrient gaps and is often paired with genetic testing for deeper context.

What This Test Measures

This panel measures the following biomarkers (with one-line definitions):

🥚 Albumin – Reflects protein status and overall nutritional health

🩸 Ferritin – Indicates iron storage and iron-related nutrient balance

🥬 Folate (B9) – Supports DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and methylation pathways

🩸 Hematocrit – Measures the proportion of red blood cells in the blood

🧪 Homocysteine – Reflects methylation efficiency and cardiovascular-related nutrient status

Vitamin B12 – Supports energy production, nerve health, and red blood cell formation

☀️ Vitamin D – Plays a role in bone health, immune function, and metabolic balance

What You'll Learn

🥗 Whether key vitamins and minerals fall within supportive ranges

⚡ Insight into nutrient-related contributors to energy and metabolism

🧪 How methylation-related markers may reflect nutrient needs
