The Blood Mineral Test measures blood levels of magnesium, copper, zinc, selenium, cadmium, and mercury levels and guides doses of magnesium, copper, zinc, selenium, vitamin C, and vitamin E.

The test is completed in ~5 minutes at your home. All that is required is a painless finger prick. Put the samples in the mail and you are done!

What does the blood mineral test, test for?

Once received by the lab, Blood Mineral testing can take around 1 week before results are available.

Once available, you'll be able to view your results in your Rootine dashboard 

How long until I get my results?

We recommend taking a blood test every 3-6 months. We do offer a quarterly blood test subscription, and discounts on blood testing for our active subscribers.

Repeated Blood Vitamin Tests are plotted in your Rootine dashboard so that you can see progress as your blood levels change. In addition, this information is also fed back into our algorithm to inform your dosing at an even deeper level.

How often should I take a blood test? 

We recommend ordering a blood test 30-45 days after you receive your most recent shipment of vitamins and completing the test as quickly as possible. This will ensure we have time to analyze the samples, request additional samples (if needed) and update your formula prior to production. If you do need a bit more time, just send us a quick head’s up and we’ll make an adjustment to your production date!

Including blood level data will further customize your vitamin recommendation, but it is not required. You can obtain blood data by ordering an at-home test from Rootine or requesting a blood test from your doctor or local lab. The latter two options require a manual upload of the data (in your dashboard) when you receive your results.
