Nutritional Health
Blood Test Dublin
Bloating, hair thinning, fatigue despite sleep, or on a restrictive diet? Auralia's Nutritional Health Panel assesses vitamin levels, iron, digestive health indicators and nutrient absorption — revealing what your body is really getting from your diet. Results in 72 hours.
What is the Nutritional Health Panel?
The Nutritional Health Panel is a private blood test in Dublin that goes beyond basic vitamin checks to assess how well your body is absorbing and utilising essential nutrients. It combines vitamin and mineral testing with digestive health indicators, liver function and thyroid screening — providing a comprehensive picture of your nutritional status and the organ systems that support it.
Many people eat what they believe is a healthy diet yet still experience persistent symptoms — bloating, hair thinning, brittle nails, fatigue despite sleep, frequent illness or unexplained weight changes. These are often signs that your body isn't absorbing nutrients efficiently, or that underlying conditions like coeliac disease, thyroid dysfunction or digestive inflammation are interfering with nutritional health.
This panel is particularly valuable for vegans, vegetarians, those on calorie-restricted or elimination diets, post-bariatric surgery patients and anyone with suspected food sensitivities or digestive issues.
- Assesses Vitamin D, B12, folate and iron — the nutrients most commonly deficient in Ireland
- Evaluates digestive health indicators to detect absorption issues
- Screens liver and thyroid function — key organs in nutrient processing
- Identifies patterns suggesting coeliac disease, IBS or malabsorption
- Clear traffic-light report — GP-ready in 72 hours
Markers tested in the
Nutritional Health Panel
Each marker is selected for its role in nutritional status, nutrient absorption and the organ systems that process what you eat.
Ireland has among the lowest Vitamin D levels in Europe due to limited sunlight. Deficiency causes fatigue, muscle weakness, low mood, bone pain and impaired immune function. Essential for everyone, especially those spending limited time outdoors.
Essential for red blood cell production, nerve function and energy metabolism. Deficiency is especially common in vegans, vegetarians, older adults and those taking PPIs or metformin — causing fatigue, numbness, brain fog and megaloblastic anaemia.
Critical for DNA synthesis, cell division and red blood cell formation. Particularly important for women of childbearing age. Low folate causes anaemia, fatigue and — in pregnancy — increases risk of neural tube defects.
Iron transports oxygen to every cell. Ferritin measures your iron stores. Low levels cause fatigue, breathlessness, hair thinning and poor concentration. Common in women with heavy periods, vegetarians and those with digestive absorption issues.
Analyses red cells, white cells and platelets. Identifies nutritional anaemia (iron, B12 or folate deficiency), infection, immune issues and blood cell abnormalities that suggest underlying malabsorption or chronic nutritional depletion.
Your liver processes vitamins, stores iron and metabolises nutrients. Impaired liver function affects nutrient utilisation and can cause fatigue, nausea and skin changes. This screens for enzyme elevations that may indicate dietary or lifestyle strain.
The thyroid controls your metabolic rate and how efficiently your body uses nutrients. Hypothyroidism causes weight gain, fatigue and hair loss that mimics nutritional deficiency — and often coexists with it. Screening both together is essential.
Additional markers that help assess how well your digestive system is absorbing nutrients. Patterns of deficiency across multiple markers — such as simultaneous low iron and low B12 — can indicate underlying conditions like coeliac disease or inflammatory bowel disease.
Who should consider a
nutritional health blood test?
This panel is designed for anyone who suspects their body isn't getting — or absorbing — the nutrients it needs to function at its best.
Persistent bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort or irregular bowel habits — signs your gut may not be absorbing nutrients properly.
Hair loss, thinning, dry skin or nails that break easily — classic signs of iron, B12, Vitamin D or zinc deficiency.
Plant-based, calorie-restricted, keto, elimination or other restrictive diets increase risk of B12, iron, folate and Vitamin D deficiency.
Still exhausted despite sleeping well — nutritional deficiency is one of the most common and treatable causes of unexplained fatigue.
Gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy significantly alter nutrient absorption. Lifelong monitoring of key vitamins and minerals is essential.
If certain foods trigger symptoms — this panel helps identify whether nutrient malabsorption is occurring alongside your sensitivities.
