Essential Nutrient Status Assessment at Home
Vesta Care's Vitamins & Minerals+ package delivers a comprehensive assessment of eight critical nutrients that determine your energy levels, immune strength, bone health, and metabolic function. This targeted blood test identifies the hidden deficiencies silently compromising your vitality—deficiencies remarkably common among Dubai residents despite living in one of the world's most affluent cities.
At AED 339, this package tests the essential micronutrients most frequently depleted by modern Dubai lifestyles: indoor living limiting sun exposure, convenience diets lacking nutrient density, chronic stress depleting minerals, and high-intensity work schedules exhausting vitamin reserves. Our DHA-licensed phlebotomists collect your blood sample at home—from Dubai Marina to Arabian Ranches, Downtown to Sports City—with results delivered in 48 hours.
Why Test Your Vitamin and Mineral Status?
Micronutrient deficiencies rarely announce themselves dramatically. Instead, they manifest as persistent fatigue you attribute to busy schedules, mood changes you blame on stress, weak immunity causing frequent infections, or poor concentration you accept as normal. Minerals play crucial roles in bone health, energy production, immune function, and nerve transmission —when these nutrients fall below optimal levels, every bodily system suffers.
Research across the Gulf region shows vitamin D deficiency affects 64.3% of adults, followed by iron deficiency at 23.2% and zinc deficiency at 15.3%. These aren't rare conditions—they're epidemic-level problems hiding behind vague symptoms that doctors often attribute to lifestyle factors rather than biochemical deficiencies.
The 8 Essential Nutrients We Test
Vitamin D – The "sunshine vitamin" critically deficient in Dubai despite year-round sun. Indoor lifestyles, cultural clothing preferences, and sunscreen use create widespread deficiency causing bone weakness, immune dysfunction, mood disorders, and increased disease risk.
Vitamin B12 – Essential for energy production, nervous system function, and red blood cell formation. Deficiency causes fatigue, cognitive difficulties, nerve damage, and anemia—particularly common in vegetarians and those over 50.
Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) – Critical for DNA synthesis, cell division, and preventing neural tube defects during pregnancy. Deficiency causes anemia, fatigue, and developmental issues.
Iron – Oxygen transport depends entirely on adequate iron. Deficiency causes exhaustion, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, and impaired cognitive function—affecting women disproportionately.
Calcium – Structural foundation of bones and teeth while regulating muscle contractions, nerve signaling, and blood clotting. Deficiency symptoms include muscle cramps, brittle nails, white spots under fingernails, and pale complexion.
Magnesium – Often called the "relaxation mineral," magnesium manages over 300 enzymatic reactions. Deficiency manifests as muscle tension, insomnia, anxiety, and mood swings—commonly depleted by stress, caffeine, and processed diets.
Phosphorus – Partners with calcium for bone health while supporting energy production and cell membrane integrity. Deficiency is rare but causes bone pain, weakness, and appetite loss.
Zinc – Zinc influences appetite through smell and taste regulation, impacts immune function, and affects growth rate. Deficiency causes slow wound healing, hair loss, frequent infections, and impaired immune response.
Who Needs This Test?
This nutrient assessment suits individuals experiencing:
- Chronic fatigue unrelieved by rest or sleep
- Frequent infections suggesting immune weakness
- Hair loss or brittle nails indicating nutrient depletion
- Muscle cramps or weakness pointing to mineral deficiency
- Mood changes or anxiety potentially linked to deficiency
- Poor concentration or memory affecting work performance
- Bone or joint pain without clear injury
- Slow wound healing suggesting zinc or vitamin deficiency
Risk factors making testing essential include vegetarian/vegan diets, pregnancy or breastfeeding, digestive disorders affecting absorption, chronic medication use, older age, high stress levels, and limited sun exposure.
Simple At-Home Blood Collection
This test requires only blood—no fasting necessary, making scheduling maximally convenient. Our certified phlebotomists arrive at your specified Dubai location within 30 minutes of your chosen appointment time. The brief blood draw takes minutes, with samples transported immediately to our CAP-accredited laboratory.
Results arrive electronically within 48 hours, analyzed by our Clinical Pathologists who identify deficiencies requiring supplementation or medical attention. Every result includes complimentary physician consultation where our DHA-licensed doctors explain findings, recommend appropriate supplementation, advise dietary modifications, and arrange follow-up testing when needed.
Transform Your Health Through Nutrition
Discovering nutrient deficiencies changes lives. That persistent exhaustion you've endured for months? Often vitamin D or iron deficiency. The anxiety you attributed to work stress? Frequently magnesium depletion. The frequent colds suggesting poor immunity? Commonly zinc or vitamin D insufficiency.
Identifying and correcting deficiencies through targeted supplementation and dietary changes restores the energy, mental clarity, immune strength, and overall vitality that proper nutrition provides. This isn't about treating disease—it's about achieving the optimal health that adequate micronutrients enable.
