Minerals are inorganic nutrients required for the functioning of the human body. They are found in small amounts in foods and are crucial for various biological processes. Some important minerals include; calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, selenium and iodine.
Here are some reasons why you might want to have minerals in your blood tested:

- Control Nutrition and Supplements: Minerals are important nutrients that you get from your diet. A blood test can help determine if you are getting enough minerals through your diet or if you need to supplement with supplements
- Identification of deficiencies: Deficiency of certain minerals can lead to health problems. For example, calcium deficiency can lead to osteoporosis, while iron deficiency can cause anemia.
- Monitoring treatments: If you already have a mineral-related health problem, such as kidney disease that affects your calcium and phosphorus balance, regular mineral monitoring can help with treatment.
- Diagnosis of specific disorders: Some conditions, such as hypercalcemia (too much calcium in the blood) or hyponatremia (too little sodium in the blood), can be diagnosed by measuring specific mineral wads.
Minerals are usually tested as part of comprehensive health studies.
