was kostet eine mikronährstoffanalyse — can a DNA test help?

The cost of a micronutrient analysis (blood test) varies by scope and lab, typically between €50 and €200. A DNA test can provide clues about genetic variants that influence the metabolism or requirement of certain micronutrients (e.g., SOD2, GPX1, MTHFR). However, a DNA test does not measure current blood levels and cannot replace direct laboratory measurement. The evidence for personalized supplementation based solely on genetic variants is weak to mechanistic. Official intake recommendations (DGE, EFSA) do not account for individual SNPs. A DNA test may serve as complementary information but should not be the sole basis for supplementation decisions. Safety note: high doses of individual micronutrients can be toxic; medical consultation before supplementation is advised.
