What is the Vitamins & Minerals Panel?

The Vitamins & Minerals Panel is a focused private blood test in Dublin that checks the six micronutrients most commonly deficient in Ireland — iron, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, folate, magnesium and zinc. These essential nutrients are responsible for energy production, immune function, bone health, hair and nail strength, nerve signalling and red blood cell formation.

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are remarkably common in Ireland. Studies suggest up to 50% of Irish adults have suboptimal Vitamin D levels, and iron deficiency affects approximately 1 in 5 women of reproductive age. Many people supplement blindly without knowing whether they actually have a deficiency — or which specific nutrients they're missing.

This panel gives you the data to supplement intelligently, address the right deficiency and avoid wasting money on nutrients you don't need. At €159, it's the most affordable entry point into Auralia's nutritional testing range.

  • Checks the 6 micronutrients most commonly deficient in Ireland
  • Iron plus ferritin — measures both active iron and stored reserves
  • Identifies deficiencies that cause fatigue, hair loss and frequent illness
  • Ideal for vegans, vegetarians and those on restricted diets
  • Clear traffic-light report — results in 48 hours

What's Included in This Test

Markers tested in the
Vitamins & Minerals Panel

Each marker is selected because it's among the most commonly deficient nutrients in Ireland — and the most impactful when corrected.

Iron & Ferritin

Iron carries oxygen to every cell. Ferritin measures your stored iron reserves — you can have normal haemoglobin but critically low ferritin. Deficiency causes fatigue, breathlessness, hair thinning, poor concentration and restless legs. Common in women with heavy periods and vegetarians.

Vitamin B12

Essential for red blood cell production, neurological function and DNA synthesis. Deficiency causes fatigue, pins and needles, brain fog, mouth ulcers and megaloblastic anaemia. Especially common in vegans, vegetarians, older adults and those taking PPIs or metformin.

Vitamin D

Ireland has among the lowest Vitamin D levels in Europe. UV exposure is insufficient for six months of the year. Deficiency causes fatigue, muscle weakness, bone pain, low mood and impaired immunity. Up to 50% of Irish adults are thought to have suboptimal levels.

Folate (Vitamin B9)

Critical for cell division, red blood cell formation and DNA synthesis. Low folate causes fatigue, weakness and anaemia. Particularly important for women of childbearing age — folate deficiency in early pregnancy increases the risk of neural tube defects.

Magnesium

Supports over 300 enzymatic reactions — including muscle function, nerve signalling, heart rhythm and sleep. Low magnesium causes cramps, anxiety, insomnia, headaches and fatigue. Often depleted by stress, caffeine, alcohol and processed diets.

Zinc

Essential for immune function, wound healing, taste, smell and skin health. Deficiency causes frequent colds, slow wound healing, acne, hair loss and loss of taste. Common in vegetarians and those with digestive conditions that impair absorption.

Is This Test Right for You?

Who should consider a
vitamin blood test in Dublin?

This panel is ideal for anyone who wants a clear, affordable snapshot of whether their body is getting the micronutrients it needs.

Persistent Fatigue

Tiredness that sleep doesn't fix. Low iron, B12, Vitamin D and magnesium are the most common — and most treatable — causes.

Hair Thinning & Brittle Nails

Iron, zinc and B12 deficiency directly affect hair growth, nail strength and skin health. A blood test pinpoints which nutrient to target.

Vegan, Vegetarian or Restricted Diet

Plant-based and calorie-restricted diets increase risk of B12, iron, zinc and folate deficiency. Know your numbers instead of guessing.

Frequent Colds & Illness

Always catching something? Zinc, Vitamin D and iron are foundational for immune function. Deficiency leaves you vulnerable.

Post-Bariatric Surgery

Gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy significantly impair nutrient absorption. Lifelong monitoring of vitamins and minerals is essential.

Supplement Users

Taking vitamins without testing is guesswork. This panel shows exactly what you need — so you can supplement effectively and stop wasting money.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions about
vitamin blood tests in Dublin

Everything you need to know about Auralia's Vitamins & Minerals Panel.

Auralia's Vitamins & Minerals Panel checks iron and ferritin (iron stores), Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, folate (Vitamin B9), magnesium and zinc. These are the six micronutrients most commonly deficient in Ireland and the most critical for energy, immunity, bone health, hair and neurological function.
The Vitamins & Minerals Panel at Auralia Dublin costs €159, fully inclusive with no hidden fees. A €50 deposit is taken at booking and fully deducted from the total cost. The price covers your blood draw, accredited laboratory analysis and comprehensive digital report with traffic-light indicators.
Fasting is generally not required for this panel. However, your Auralia patient coordinator will provide specific preparation guidance when booking. We recommend stopping B12 supplements for at least two weeks before your test if possible, as supplementation can mask a true deficiency.
No GP referral is required. Simply complete the online enquiry form on auralia.ie and our patient coordinator will arrange everything. Many people share their results with their GP or nutritionist to get targeted supplementation advice.
Ireland's latitude means UV exposure is insufficient for adequate Vitamin D production in the skin for approximately six months of the year (October to March). Studies suggest up to 50% of Irish adults have suboptimal Vitamin D levels. Those who spend most of their time indoors, have darker skin, wear covering clothing or work night shifts are at particular risk. Most Irish adults would benefit from knowing their Vitamin D level, especially heading into or coming out of winter.
The Vitamins & Minerals Panel (€159) is a focused micronutrient check — iron, B12, Vitamin D, folate, magnesium and zinc. The Nutritional Health Panel (€239) includes these markers plus liver function, thyroid function, full blood count and digestive health indicators — providing a broader picture of how your body absorbs and processes nutrients. If you want a straightforward vitamin and mineral check, this panel is ideal. If you suspect an absorption or digestive issue, the Nutritional Health Panel is more comprehensive.
Anyone experiencing persistent fatigue, hair thinning, brittle nails, frequent illness, muscle cramps or low mood. Also recommended for vegans, vegetarians, those on calorie-restricted or elimination diets, post-bariatric surgery patients, people over 50, women with heavy periods, and anyone taking supplements who wants to verify they're targeting the right deficiencies.
Your digital report will clearly flag any results below the optimal range using our traffic-light system. Most vitamin and mineral deficiencies are highly treatable through targeted supplementation and dietary changes. Your report includes clear guidance on what each result means, and many people share their results with their GP or nutritionist to create a personalised supplementation plan rather than guessing.
