Micronutrient Testing, lab results from home

You should not change any medication or supplements without first speaking to your physician.

If you are experiencing symptoms of nutrient deficiencies or excess, or you would like comprehensive insights into your overall health, these tests are for you. Micronutrients are essential for growth, disease prevention, and overall well-being. Identifying key areas for improvement is the first step to improving your diet and feeling your best.

The symptoms of a mineral deficiency can vary in severity and can depend on which mineral you are deficient in.

Possible symptoms may include:

Constipation, bloating, or abdominal pain

Decreased immune system

Diarrhea

Irregular heartbeat

Loss of appetite

Muscle cramping

Nausea and vomiting

Poor concentration

Weakness or tiredness

Activating the test connects you to the unique alphanumeric barcode within your LetsGetChecked sample collection kit. The laboratory cannot process your sample if the test is not activated and linked to you. You should only activate your test when you are ready to take your sample.

Yes. LetsGetChecked has a team of board-certified physicians who will review your order and results and have created detailed result breakdowns for your testing journey. Our clinical team is on standby throughout the testing process and, if your test results are abnormal, you may receive a call to discuss your results and next steps.

You should collect your samples Monday-Friday, in the morning while fasting, and ensure your return is scheduled for the same day. Each of our health tests includes a prepaid delivery envelope to return your samples to the laboratory. Fasting means that you take the test in the morning before you have breakfast. You can still drink water when fasting but avoid drinking water in the 30 minutes prior to collecting your saliva sample. Always follow the advice of your doctor with regards to fasting, particularly if you have any medical conditions. Please do not collect or return samples on a Saturday or Sunday.

Keeping your personal data secure is important to us. We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure security and confidentiality of your information, and only share your information where required to deliver our products and services or where we have a legal basis to do so. All samples are disposed of following analysis.

Your samples are processed in the same labs used by primary care providers, hospitals and government programs. LetsGetChecked laboratories are CLIA approved and CAP-accredited, which are the highest levels of accreditation. Sample collection kits are manufactured within our ISO 13485 certified facility, the highest level of accreditation for medical devices.

We don't accept insurance at this time. We work to keep our tests as affordable as possible and our test costs are generally lower than the costs incurred from a trip to a healthcare provider. We accept many Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) cards. They can be used in the same way that a debit or credit card would be used at checkout.
