YOUR PANEL, EXPLAINEDVitamins & Minerals
Every marker
Get to know what each of these markers reflects.
Iron
The iron circulating in your blood right now, on its way to the tissues that use it. It moves through the day and with what you last ate.
A result needs context. Read it alongside your other results and discuss concerns with your GP.
Ferritin
How much iron your body has in storage, the reserve it draws on between meals and through a heavy period.
A result needs context. Read it alongside your other results and discuss concerns with your GP.
Transferrin
The protein that carries iron around your bloodstream. Your body makes more of it when iron is scarce.
A result needs context. Read it alongside your other results and discuss concerns with your GP.
Transferrin saturation
What proportion of your iron carriers are actually loaded. It is the best single read of whether iron is reaching the places that need it.
A result needs context. Read it alongside your other results and discuss concerns with your GP.
Total iron binding capacity (TIBC)
How much iron your blood could carry if every carrier site were filled. It is the same information as transferrin, expressed differently.
A result needs context. Read it alongside your other results and discuss concerns with your GP.
Vitamin B12
The fraction of your B12 that is bound to the carrier your cells can actually take up. Roughly a fifth of the total, and the part that matters.
A result needs context. Read it alongside your other results and discuss concerns with your GP.
Folate
Folate circulating in your blood, which tracks what you have eaten over the last few days more than what your body has banked.
A result needs context. Read it alongside your other results and discuss concerns with your GP.
Vitamin D
The circulating store of vitamin D your body draws on, built from sunlight on skin and from what you eat or supplement.
A result needs context. Read it alongside your other results and discuss concerns with your GP.
Magnesium
The small fraction of your body's magnesium that circulates in blood. Your kidneys hold this number steady, so it tells you less than people assume.
A result needs context. Read it alongside your other results and discuss concerns with your GP.

Before you begin
A few things
worth knowing.
Is this the right place to start?
Choose this panel if iron and nutrient levels are your focus. It includes a full iron workup, but not a full blood count. It cannot diagnose anaemia or establish the cause of tiredness.
What should I know before taking my sample?
Follow the collection and preparation instructions supplied with your kit. Register your sample and record the collection time before returning it for analysis. If you take medication, ask your clinician about testing; do not stop prescribed medication for a test.
What can this test tell me?
It gives you a snapshot of the markers included in this panel. One result outside a range does not on its own mean something is medically wrong. Speak to your GP about persistent or concerning symptoms.
How will I see my results?
Your blood test results are displayed in your Helvy account. You can explore the sample report on this page to see an illustrative example before you order.
What are the limits of this panel?
This panel does not include a full blood count. Ferritin can rise with inflammation as well as iron stores, and iron varies through the day. The results cannot establish a diagnosis on their own.
