Is there an effective way to know which vitamins you're missing? Can full blood tests help tell you which vitamins you should be taking daily?



It would be so fantastic if we could just have a chip implanted to continuously measure this stuff, then download it and analyze on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis. There's so much cool science to be done here, especially if this is done on a global scale.


Yes. There are common panels available at Quest/Labcorp that will measure critical nutrients such as Vitamin D or Vitamin B12. In addition, there is a more comprehensive test called ION available from Metametrix.
