Vitamin & Micronutrient Testing in Bangkok

Vitamin and micronutrient testing at Kauri, BTS Punnawithi. Compare the antioxidant panel with the full Micronutrient Profile + Vitamin D2/D3 and see every included marker.

The short answer

Vitamin and micronutrient blood tests measure selected nutritional markers to help assess suspected deficiencies and guide nutrition decisions. Kauri's antioxidant panel and full micronutrient profile answer different questions. Explore what each marker means, how supplements affect interpretation and which panel includes the nutrients you want to check.

What vitamin and micronutrient results actually mean

What are micronutrients, and why measure them?

Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals needed in small amounts for normal body function. Blood testing measures selected markers to investigate a nutritional question, not the overall quality of your diet in one score. Diet, absorption, supplements and health conditions all influence interpretation. Start with what you want to understand, then choose a focused test or a broader profile.

Could low B12 or iron stores explain tiredness?

B12 deficiency and low iron stores are among the issues a clinician may consider when assessing tiredness. Ferritin helps assess stored iron; it is not a vitamin and can also rise with inflammation. The full micronutrient profile includes B12, folate and ferritin. These findings are interpreted with symptoms and, when relevant, blood count rather than assuming every tired person has a deficiency.

What is the difference between vitamin D2, D3 and total vitamin D?

D2 and D3 are forms of vitamin D. The full profile reports their 25-OH measurements and total 25-OH vitamin D, a marker used to assess vitamin D status. The total is a combined result, not a third independent vitamin. Vitamin D supports bone and calcium health; the result should be interpreted with your situation rather than used as a universal wellness score.

Does an antioxidant panel measure detox or biological age?

This panel measures the listed substances, including selected vitamins, carotenoids and CoQ10. It does not directly measure detoxification, all oxidative stress or biological age. Its practical value is a clearer view of those specific blood markers. If your question includes B12, iron stores, minerals or vitamin D, compare the full micronutrient profile, which adds those measurements.

How can I use the results without taking unnecessary supplements?

Review what you already eat and take before adding anything. Your plan can focus on the markers that need attention, a practical dietary change or a targeted supplement when appropriate. A higher blood level is not automatically better. Keep a record of supplement names and doses, and agree which markers need follow-up instead of automatically repeating every panel.

Which nutritional tests can I arrange?

Kauri offers selected vitamin tests, a micronutrient profile and an antioxidant/vitamin panel. A focused test can answer a specific question; a broader profile may suit a more detailed nutritional review. We explain the actual included markers before you choose.

When can vitamin testing be helpful?

Testing can help investigate a suspected deficiency, a restricted diet, absorption concerns or the effects of supplementation. Symptoms such as tiredness have many possible causes, so we consider nutritional results alongside your wider health rather than assuming vitamins are the only explanation.

What does HPLC mean?

HPLC stands for high-performance liquid chromatography, a laboratory method used to separate and measure substances in a sample. It describes how the laboratory performs the test. The selected panel's marker list tells you which vitamins are measured.

Should I take supplements before testing?

Tell us the names, amounts and timing of your supplements. These can affect results or how they are interpreted. Kauri confirms any preparation required by the laboratory; do not change prescribed treatment without advice.

What happens after my results?

We review your results with your diet, symptoms and supplement routine. The next step may be food changes, targeted supplementation, further assessment or a planned repeat measurement. The aim is an understandable nutrition plan based on the findings.
