Vegetarian, and especially vegan, diets aren’t a passing fad. From 2004 to 2019 alone, there was a 300% increase in the number of people who called themselves vegan. (Vegans abstain from eating any animal meat or by-products, while vegetarians typically just avoid meat but will consume other foods such as eggs and cheese.) Vegan, vegetarian, and other plant-based diets are considered good for your health (and for the health of the planet, too), but you need to make sure that you are getting enough protein, vitamins, and other nutrients. This vegetarian blood test can support your lifestyle and catch imbalances at the earliest stages, so you can make the necessary changes to your diet.
This profile tests for standard blood chemistry, cholesterol levels, and other metabolic markers, including common vitamin deficiencies found in vegan and vegetarian diets. The vegan blood test panel includes the following:
It’s helpful to measure these markers after starting a vegan or vegetarian diet, and you can choose to continue monitoring them on a regular basis. While this lifestyle has many benefits, there are some risks to a plant-based diet, such as anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, or hormonal imbalance, if you’re not taking care to eat a rich variety of foods.
This blood test for vegans requires fasting from food or beverages other than water for 12 hours prior to giving your blood sample.
Each marker measured in this panel will have its own normal range; some of those ranges may also be determined by your age or gender. A physician can help you look at your results and determine if you need to tweak your diet to address any irregular levels. We have a team of board-certified doctors who can consult with you and make recommendations; simply schedule a telehealth visit to review the test findings.
