If you're experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or visit your nearest emergency room immediately. LabCoach cannot provide emergency medical assistance.

Welcome to LabCoach!

I'm here to help you understand the biomarkers in your Comprehensive Micronutrient Panel panel.

Try asking:

  • "What does creatinine measure?"
  • "Why is vitamin D important?"
  • "What influences glucose levels?"
This provides educational information about biomarkers—not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your healthcare provider for medical concerns.

Comprehensive Micronutrient Panel

Vitamins

Vitamin A (Retinol)

general wellness biomarker
What Is It

This marker is measured in your blood and provides educational insight into a specific body system or wellness domain.

What It Measures

A laboratory biomarker measured from your sample.

Why It Matters

This marker can provide educational insight into general wellness domains such as metabolism, nutrient status, organ function, inflammation, or hormonal signaling. Interpretation depends on context, symptoms, medications, and timing.

Common Influences
  • Recent illness or inflammation
  • Medications and supplements
  • Hydration status
  • Fasting status and time of day
  • Recent exercise and stress

Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy (Total)

bone metabolism immune support calcium regulation
What Is It

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin important for bone and immune function. 25‑hydroxy vitamin D is the standard blood marker used to estimate vitamin D status.

What It Measures

25-hydroxy vitamin D, the standard marker of vitamin D status.

Why It Matters

Supports education around bone, immune, and overall wellness. Seasonal changes and supplementation can affect levels.

Common Influences
  • Sun exposure
  • Supplement use
  • Body fat levels
  • Season/geography
  • Certain medications

Vitamin E (Alpha-Tocopherol)

general wellness biomarker
What Is It

This marker is measured in your blood and provides educational insight into a specific body system or wellness domain.

What It Measures

A laboratory biomarker measured from your sample.

Why It Matters

This marker can provide educational insight into general wellness domains such as metabolism, nutrient status, organ function, inflammation, or hormonal signaling. Interpretation depends on context, symptoms, medications, and timing.

Common Influences
  • Recent illness or inflammation
  • Medications and supplements
  • Hydration status
  • Fasting status and time of day
  • Recent exercise and stress

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate)

general wellness biomarker
What Is It

This marker is measured in your blood and provides educational insight into a specific body system or wellness domain.

What It Measures

A laboratory biomarker measured from your sample.

Why It Matters

This marker can provide educational insight into general wellness domains such as metabolism, nutrient status, organ function, inflammation, or hormonal signaling. Interpretation depends on context, symptoms, medications, and timing.

Common Influences
  • Recent illness or inflammation
  • Medications and supplements
  • Hydration status
  • Fasting status and time of day
  • Recent exercise and stress

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)

red blood cell formation nerve function energy metabolism
What Is It

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin important for red blood cell formation, nerve health, and energy metabolism. Cobalamin is the primary form measured in blood.

What It Measures

Vitamin B12 status in blood.

Why It Matters

Used in wellness education around energy metabolism, nerve support, and red blood cell formation.

Common Influences
  • Dietary intake (animal foods)
  • Supplement use
  • Absorption issues
  • Medications (e.g., metformin)
  • Bariatric surgery history

Folate (Folic Acid), Serum

general wellness biomarker
What Is It

Folate is a B‑vitamin important for DNA synthesis and red blood cell production. It works closely with vitamin B12 in one‑carbon (methylation) metabolism.

What It Measures

Folate status in blood.

Why It Matters

Supports education around methylation pathways and red blood cell health; works closely with B12.

Common Influences
  • Dietary leafy greens/fortified foods
  • Supplement use
  • Alcohol intake
  • Certain medications
  • Gut absorption
Minerals

Magnesium, RBC

general wellness biomarker
What Is It

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in muscle, nerve, and energy function. RBC magnesium reflects magnesium inside red blood cells and is sometimes used as a proxy for longer-term cellular status.

What It Measures

Magnesium measured within red blood cells (cellular magnesium status).

Why It Matters

Provides educational insight into longer-term magnesium status which can relate to muscle function, sleep, and metabolic wellness.

Common Influences
  • Dietary intake
  • Supplement use
  • GI absorption
  • High sweating/athletic activity
  • Certain medications

Zinc, Plasma

general wellness biomarker
What Is It

This marker is measured in your blood and provides educational insight into a specific body system or wellness domain.

What It Measures

A laboratory biomarker measured from your sample.

Why It Matters

This marker can provide educational insight into general wellness domains such as metabolism, nutrient status, organ function, inflammation, or hormonal signaling. Interpretation depends on context, symptoms, medications, and timing.

Common Influences
  • Recent illness or inflammation
  • Medications and supplements
  • Hydration status
  • Fasting status and time of day
  • Recent exercise and stress

Copper, Serum

general wellness biomarker
What Is It

This marker is measured in your blood and provides educational insight into a specific body system or wellness domain.

What It Measures

A laboratory biomarker measured from your sample.

Why It Matters

This marker can provide educational insight into general wellness domains such as metabolism, nutrient status, organ function, inflammation, or hormonal signaling. Interpretation depends on context, symptoms, medications, and timing.

Common Influences
  • Recent illness or inflammation
  • Medications and supplements
  • Hydration status
  • Fasting status and time of day
  • Recent exercise and stress

Ferritin

oxygen transport support energy availability iron storage
What Is It

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body. Blood ferritin is often used as an estimate of iron reserves, though it can also rise with inflammation.

What It Measures

A marker that generally reflects iron storage.

Why It Matters

Helps contextualize iron reserves in energy and performance discussions; also can rise with inflammation.

Common Influences
  • Inflammation/infection
  • Iron intake
  • Blood loss (e.g., menstruation)
  • Supplementation
  • Liver health
