What can the Nährstoff | VitalCheck Basic tell you — and what not?

The Nährstoff | VitalCheck Basic from MyBody-X typically measures blood levels of key micronutrients such as vitamin D, B12, folate, iron, magnesium, selenium, and zinc. It can provide a snapshot of your current nutrient status and flag potential deficiencies – for example, low vitamin D or suboptimal ferritin. What it cannot do: It does not replace medical diagnosis, does not clarify underlying causes (e.g., malabsorption or chronic inflammation), and does not cover all relevant markers (e.g., active B12, methylmalonic acid, or homocysteine). It also does not interpret nutrient interactions or individual genetic variants like MTHFR. The results are a screening tool, not a treatment guide. Evidence: practice (product description), but lacks clinical validation for specific health decisions. Caveat: a normal value does not rule out functional deficiency; an abnormal value requires clinical follow-up.
