Aches, cramps, tingling, hair fall and low energy are vague complaints, and it is tempting to buy a multivitamin and hope. This 6-test panel is for people who would rather measure first, particularly vegetarians, people who stay indoors, and anyone whose routine checkup came back normal. It answers the question: which nutrient, if any, am I really short of?
Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium and supports bone and muscle. Vitamin B12 and folic acid are both needed to make healthy red cells, and B12 also protects the nerves. Ferritin shows your iron reserves. Serum calcium tells you how much calcium is in the blood, though the body controls this tightly, so a normal value does not prove your bones are strong. The CBC shows whether a shortage has already reached your red cells.
Measuring has a practical benefit. Vitamin D and iron can both cause harm in excess, so a dose should match a real shortage, and a doctor's advice should guide how much you take and for how long. If everything here is normal, the cause of your symptoms probably lies elsewhere, and thyroid and sugar checks may be the next step.

Vitamin Deficiency Panel – FAQs
What is the price of the Vitamin Deficiency Panel?
₹3,299 at all 45 Live Line centres and for home sample collection.
Which tests are included in the Vitamin Deficiency Panel?
6 tests: Vitamin D Test (25-Hydroxy Vitamin D), Vitamin B12 Test (Cyanocobalamin), Serum Folic Acid (Folate) Test, Serum Ferritin Test, Serum Calcium Test (Total Calcium), CBC Test (Complete Blood Count).
Is fasting required for the Vitamin Deficiency Panel?
Yes. Fast 6 to 8 hours first, and plain water is allowed.
How is this different from the Vitamin D and B12 Combo?
The Vitamin D and B12 Combo measures only those two vitamins, and it suits a quick check or a recheck after treatment. This panel adds folic acid, ferritin, calcium and a CBC, so it fits better when you do not yet know what is causing your symptoms.
Does this panel test every vitamin?
No. It measures vitamin D, vitamin B12 and folic acid, along with iron stores and calcium, because these are the ones doctors most often need. Vitamins A, C and E and minerals such as zinc are not part of it, and shortages of those are less common.
How soon should I retest after starting supplements?
About three months is the usual gap, since vitamin and iron levels rise slowly. Testing after a week or two tells you very little. Keep taking what your doctor prescribed until that review, and bring your first report so the two can be compared.
Is a daily multivitamin enough to correct a low result?
Often not. A multivitamin usually holds small amounts, and a true deficiency may need a treatment dose for a period of time. On the other hand, a mild shortage may only need food changes. Your doctor can match the plan to your actual numbers.
