Minerals
17 markers in this category
Bicarbonate
According to MedlinePlus, bicarbonate (HCO3-) is the form in which most carbon dioxide is in the body, and it is an electrolyte: an electrically charged mineral that helps control the amount of fluid and the balance between acid and base.
Calcium
A calcium blood test tells you how much calcium your blood holds in total, 2.18 to 2.55 mmol/l in adults.
Ceruloplasmin
Ceruloplasmin levels can naturally fluctuate with hormonal changes. Understanding your copper metabolism supports comprehensive women's health monitoring.
Chloride
Chloride helps regulate fluid balance, which can fluctuate during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Monitoring supports awareness of your hydration and electrolyte status.
Copper
Copper supports iron metabolism and connective tissue health, both important for women's wellness. Levels may fluctuate with hormonal changes and oral contraceptive use.
Ferritin
Your ferritin value tells you how large your iron store is, because ferritin is the protein that stores iron, and in every menstruating life stage that store is under pressure.
Iodine
Iodine is vital for thyroid health and becomes especially important during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Monitoring supports healthy hormone production throughout your reproductive years.
Iron (Serum)
Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
Magnesium
Magnesium supports muscle relaxation, mood balance, and may ease menstrual cramps. It plays an important role in women's hormonal health and sleep quality.
Magnesium (Intracellular)
Intracellular magnesium reveals hidden deficiencies that standard tests may miss. It supports hormonal balance, mood stability, and cramp relief for women.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus works with calcium to maintain bone strength, which is especially important during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause.
Potassium
Potassium supports heart health and fluid balance, both of which can be influenced by hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause.
Selenium
Selenium supports thyroid health and reproductive function. Adequate levels may be important for fertility, pregnancy, and hormonal balance.
Sodium
Sodium helps regulate fluid balance, which can be affected by hormonal changes throughout the menstrual cycle and during pregnancy. Monitoring supports overall well-being.
Transferrin
The protein transferrin carries iron through the body, because according to the NVKC iron in the blood is always bound to transferrin.
Transferrin Saturation
Iron, which according to the NVKC the body needs for, among other things, haemoglobin, the protein with which red blood cells bind and carry oxygen, is bound in the blood to the transport protein transferrin.
Zinc
Zinc supports skin health, immune function, and hormonal balance for women. Adequate levels may be important for reproductive health and healthy skin and hair.
