What role does Nährstoffcheck play in menopause?

MyBody-X's Nährstoffcheck (nutrient test) measures vitamins and minerals in blood. During menopause, nutrient needs shift: calcium and vitamin D are critical for bone health, while vitamin B12 and iron may be affected by absorption changes or bleeding patterns. The test can flag potential deficiencies, but it's a single time point – daily variation, diet, and cycle phase can skew results. Evidence for routine nutrient screening in all menopausal women is limited; targeted testing based on symptoms or risk factors is more evidence-based. MyBody-X markets it as a 'metabolism analysis', but clinical validation specific to menopause is lacking. Caveat: a normal result doesn't rule out deficiency, and an abnormal one requires medical follow-up. Overall: useful for awareness, not diagnosis.
