Minerals
17 markers in this category
Bicarbonate
Bicarbonate helps regulate your body's pH balance, which can be influenced by hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause.
Calcium
Calcium is crucial for women's bone health, particularly during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause when calcium needs may increase significantly.
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 level shows how large your iron store is, and in every menstruating life stage that store is under pressure. Iron is lost with every cycle, and with heavy menstrual bleeding the loss exceeds what diet can replace. Heavy bleeding is the most common cause of iron deficiency in women under fifty. In pregnancy the requirement rises sharply and ferritin falls physiologically in the second and third trimesters. After the menopause the monthly loss disappears and your store shifts towards the male level. One reference figure therefore cannot fit all of those stages at once.
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)
Serum iron reflects your current iron availability, which can be affected by menstruation, pregnancy, and hormonal changes. Regular monitoring helps maintain energy and well-being.
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
Transferrin levels naturally rise during pregnancy and may change with menstrual iron loss. Monitoring helps ensure efficient iron transport for women's health needs.
Transferrin Saturation
Transferrin saturation measures how much of your iron-transport protein is carrying iron, providing crucial insight into your iron status. For women, this marker is particularly relevant due to menstrual iron loss, which can significantly affect energy levels and overall well-being.
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.
