Vitamin D, the complete methylation story (B12, MMA, folate RBC, homocysteine), intracellular minerals (magnesium RBC, zinc RBC), and full iron panel with TIBC and ferritin. The foundational deficiencies that drive most fatigue, brain fog, and energy complaints , read at the cellular level rather than serum proxies.
What’s tested
biomarkers
Grouped by clinical axis. Notes flag the markers where the assay choice or interpretation matters most.
Why these matter
Methylmalonic Acid
Functional B12 marker. Can flag B12 insufficiency when serum B12 still looks normal.
Folate, RBC
Long-term folate status (3 to 4 month window). Serum folate only reflects recent intake.
Homocysteine
Methylation outcome marker , elevated when B12, folate, or B6 status is impaired.
Why these matter
Magnesium, RBC
Intracellular magnesium , what's actually in your cells, not the labile serum proxy.
Zinc, RBC
Intracellular zinc , serum zinc varies with recent meals and isn't reliable.
Why these matter
Iron, TIBC and Ferritin Panel
Complete iron read. Ferritin (iron stores) is the headline marker most basic panels miss.
