Secure your health on a plant-based basis – comprehensive control of your nutrient supply.

The Vegan-Check specifically analyzes the nutrients that can be critical in a purely plant-based diet, including vitamin B12, vitamin D, ferritin, and folic acid. This test gives you a clear overview of your supply and allows you to specifically avoid deficiencies.

Why is this test important? A balanced vegan diet is healthy and sustainable, but certain nutrients need to be kept in mind. This test will ensure that your body is optimally supplied and that you benefit from the advantages of a plant-based diet in the long term.

Your advantages:

• Targeted analysis: Investigation of the most important nutrients for vegans.
• Simple and convenient: Flexible sampling from home.
• Clear feedback: Your individual report shows you your values ​​compared to the normal ranges.

Stay healthy and vital – with the Vegan Check from Probatix.

The Vegan Check is crucial to ensure that you, as a vegan, receive all the necessary nutrients in sufficient quantities and that your health is optimally supported.

• Oxygen supply and blood health: ensuring adequate oxygen supply to cells and checking iron stores
• Cell division and blood formation: Supporting cell division and blood formation for optimal health
• Immune system and bone health: Maintaining a strong immune system and healthy bones

A vegan check can be useful if you have the following symptoms:

• concentration problems
• General weakness or malaise
• Unbalanced diet or suspected nutrient deficiency
• Sudden malaise after switching to a vegan/vegetarian diet
• Constant tiredness or exhaustion

For accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations, please consult a doctor.

TSH (sensitive)

The biomarker TSH (sensitive) is an important indicator of thyroid function. An elevated TSH level may indicate hypothyroidism, while a low level may suggest hyperthyroidism. Therefore, the precise determination of the TSH level is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases.

Hemoglobin

Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues and brings carbon dioxide back to the lungs. It is important because it supports oxygen supply and gas exchange in the body.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an important biomarker for health. A deficiency in this vitamin can lead to anemia, neurological problems, and other serious health complications. It is important to regularly check the vitamin B12 levels and, if necessary, take supplements to avoid deficiencies.

Ferritin

Ferritin is a biomarker that indicates the iron storage in the body. High ferritin levels can suggest iron overload or inflammation, while low levels may indicate an iron deficiency. Therefore, measuring ferritin levels is important for the diagnosis and monitoring of iron metabolism disorders and inflammatory diseases.

Folic Acid

Folic acid in serum or plasma: The measurement of folic acid is used to determine the folic acid level in the blood. Folic acid is important for the formation of red blood cells and the smooth functioning of the nervous system. Deviations from the normal folic acid level can indicate various medical conditions, including anemia, pregnancy complications, or malnutrition.

Transcobalamin

Transcobalamin is a protein that transports vitamin B12 in the blood and makes it available to the cells. A deficiency or dysfunction can lead to reduced vitamin B12 supply to the cells, which can cause various health problems.

Transferrin

Transferrin saturation is a measure of the proportion of iron bound in the blood relative to the total capacity of transferrin. This value is important for assessing the iron status in the body. Low transferrin saturation can indicate iron deficiency, which can lead to anemia and other health problems. An adequate iron status is crucial for the normal functioning of the body, including the formation of red blood cells and the transport of oxygen in the blood. A lack of iron can lead to fatigue, weakness, and other symptoms.

25-OH-Vitamin-D3

The biomarker 25-OH vitamin D is an important indicator of the vitamin D status in the body. A deficiency in this vitamin can lead to a variety of health problems, such as osteoporosis, muscle weakness, and an increased risk of infections. Therefore, it is important to regularly check the 25-OH vitamin D level and optimize it if necessary through supplements or sunlight.

1. What is tested during the Vegan Check?

The Vegan Check tests important blood values ​​such as vitamin B12, iron, folic acid, vitamin D and zinc to ensure that you, as a vegan, are optimally supplied with nutrients.

2. Who is the Vegan Check suitable for?

The test is ideal for people who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet and want to make sure they are getting enough nutrients that are typically less common in plant-based foods.

3. Which nutrients are often missing in the vegan diet?

Nutrients such as vitamin B12, iron, zinc and vitamin D are often only present in small amounts in plant-based foods and can lead to deficiencies in vegans.

4. How is the vegan check carried out?

The test is done by taking a simple blood sample from the comfort of your own home. The sample is then sent to our laboratory for analysis.

5. What symptoms can indicate a nutrient deficiency?

Symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, difficulty concentrating or frequent infections can indicate a nutrient deficiency, which can be checked by the Vegan Check.

The results are usually available in your personal Probatix dashboard within a few days.

7. What can I do if a defect is discovered?

If a nutrient deficiency is identified, you can adjust your diet accordingly or take supplements to compensate for the deficiencies.

8. Why is vitamin B12 so important?

Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in blood formation and the functioning of the nervous system. It is found almost exclusively in animal products, so vegans should check their B12 levels regularly.

9. Can the Vegan Check also be used preventively?

Yes, the Vegan Check can be used preventively to detect nutrient deficiencies early before symptoms appear and to adjust your diet accordingly.

10. How often should I do the vegan check?

It is recommended to perform the test regularly, especially if you want to maintain your vegan diet in the long term and detect possible deficiencies early.

11. Can the Vegan Check also be helpful for a vegetarian diet?

Yes, vegetarians can also benefit from this test to ensure they are getting enough important nutrients, especially if they consume little or no animal products.
