Vitamin D Test
To the product page
Worldwide, an estimated one billion people have inadequate levels of vitamin D in their blood, and deficiencies can be found in all ethnicities and age groups’ (Harvard School of Public Health, 2012). It is important to know your vitamin D level and supplement according to your individual needs.
Strong bones and muscles, mental fitness, prevention of osteoporosis and better athletic performance are just a few of the benefits that are linked to healthy vitamin D levels in countless scientific studies. Young adults, elderly people and women all especially need to keep their vitamin D level in mind because they are at a higher risk.
Unfortunately, a vitamin D deficiency can not be ‘tasted’ or ‘felt’. Therefore, it is important to test for a vitamin d deficiency regularly.
With the cerascreen® Vitamin D Test, a diagnostic send-in test that you can use at home, you can determine your blood concentration of vitamin D and to monitor the level of 25-OH vitamin D in your blood. The Vitamin D Test includes a free return envelope and analysis in our diagnostics laboratory as well as a detailed results report.
Hba1c Test – Long Term Blood Sugar Test
To the product page
Sugar is a source of energy for the body. It is transported through the blood to all organs. In the process, the sugar glucose sticks to the blood pigment haemoglobin, resulting in haemoglobin A1C (HbA1c). For people with diabetes, there is too much hbA1c in the blood in the long term – which is why the long-term blood sugar HbA1c is considered an important tool to measure your risk of developing diabetes.
With the cerascreen® Long Term Blood Sugar Test (hbA1c), an hba1c home test kit, you can find out your hbA1c value – that is, the degree of saccharification of the red blood cells in your capillary blood. This value indicates your average blood glucose levels over the last three months. The value is considered an indication of possible pre-diabetes or diabetes.
Vitamin B12 Test
To the product page
Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin. This means that the body cannot produce it or cannot produce it to a sufficient degree by itself. Tiredness, exhaustion, headaches, difficulty concentrating, digestive problems and depression can all be signs of a low vitamin B12 level. People with high stress levels, vegans, vegetarians, pregnant women and elderly people all have an increased risk of vitamin B12 deficiency.
Vitamin B12 is involved in cellular energy production and can thus support physical performance.

Omega-3 Test
To the product page
The cerascreen® Omega-3 Test is a home test kit that allows you to analyse the composition of fatty acids in your blood. Our partner medical laboratory determines your omega-3 index and the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids in your blood.
Omega-3 fatty acids are considered particularly healthy fats. But with our modern diets, we actually consume very little omega 3. This can become a problem – if we take in more omega 6 than omega 3, our body is at risk of inflammation and cardiovascular disease.
Vitamin A Test
To the product page
A vitamin A deficiency can lead to vision problems, frequent infections and anaemia, for example. A first symptom is often night blindness, i.e. problems with seeing in dim light. Too high a vitamin A level is also problematic and can cause liver damage, among other things.
Test now whether your blood values indicate an over- or undersupply of vitamin A. The cerascreen® vitamin A test is a home sampling and submission kit. In the laboratory, the level of vitamin A (trans-retinol) in your blood is examined.
