Nutrient Absorption Test - 112 Vitamins, Minerals & Amino Acids

Our review of the Nutrient Absorption Test finds it best suited to people who suspect dietary gaps or absorption issues and want a simple, at-home screening to guide diet and supplement choices. The kit's biggest draw is the broad panel: it checks more than 112 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids and trace minerals using a hair-analysis process that promises results soon after the lab receives the sample. For anyone seeking actionable direction rather than a medical diagnosis, the test offers clear, structured feedback to start improving intake and absorption.

Key Features

• 112+ nutrient panel: A comprehensive screening across vitamins, minerals, amino acids and trace elements gives a wide snapshot of potential absorption issues.
• Hair-analysis sampling: The at-home hair sample method avoids blood draws and can be completed with minimal fuss, making testing accessible.
• Fast lab turnaround: Results are delivered by email four days after the lab receives the sample, so users get timely guidance to act on.
• Clear severity indicators: The report flags mild, moderate or severe absorption issues, providing practical priorities for diet and supplement changes.
• Guidance for next steps: The company recommends whole-food focused nutrition and whole-food supplements to improve uptake based on reported imbalances.

Who It's For

This test is a good fit for health-conscious adults who notice signs like brittle nails, hair loss, dry skin, muscle cramps or persistent inflammation and want a noninvasive way to identify possible nutrient absorption problems. It also suits people who already take supplements but want to check whether those nutrients are actually being absorbed.

It is not a substitute for diagnostic blood testing or clinical evaluation when serious deficiency is suspected; people needing medical diagnosis or urgent care should consult a healthcare provider. Those seeking absolute clinical accuracy for specific nutrient levels should consider laboratory blood tests in addition to or instead of a screening hair analysis.

Our Verdict
