To function properly, the human body needs a certain amount of different nutrients, which we are supposed to consume with our everyday food. A plant-based diet, provided that it is well balanced, ensures the sufficient consumption and absorption of most nutrients.

Lack of vital nutrients may cause a number of different health concerns, including anaemia, osteoporosis, frequent viral diseases, increased risk of developing cell damage, etc. At the same time, overconsuming some nutrients or consuming them in the wrong amount may cause problems with weight, increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, etc. To ensure that the body consumes the optimal amount of important nutrients with a vegetarian diet, we recommend that you monitor their levels on a regular basis. This can be done with blood tests.

The Vegetarian panel combines the most important health indicators and tests that allow for early detection of the health risks associated with vegetarianism. The panel includes 15 tests and allows you to assess the level of proteins, fats, glucose, iron stores, and vitamins B12 and D. It also helps you to decide if you need to modify your diet or start taking food supplements. The vegetarian panel is suitable for vegans as well as flexitarians (e.g., for those who have stopped eating just meat).

Laboratory tests provide an overview of the body's current state, and normal results do not guarantee the absence of all health issues. If symptoms persist, we recommend consulting your general practitioner or booking a consultation with a laboratory doctor.
