Nutrition Blood Testing

Treatment Overview

Nutrition Blood Testing at Pitonne adds a full nutrition evaluation to our standard and hormone blood test panels. It checks iron stores, key vitamins, and minerals that are often missed in routine testing.

This may be a good option if you are concerned about vitamin or iron deficiency, experience fatigue or low energy, or want a more detailed yearly blood test as part of your wellness routine.

Like all blood testing at Pitonne, this test can be added to your IV therapy appointment for convenience. Blood collection is usually performed before the IV, and in many cases both can be completed with a single needle insertion.

How It Works

1. Consultation and Test Selection

We review your goals, symptoms, and medical background, then confirm the most appropriate blood testing items for your needs.

2. Blood Collection

For clients receiving IV therapy, blood collection is usually performed before the IV during the same appointment. In many cases, both can be completed with a single needle insertion. The blood draw itself usually takes less than a minute.

3. Physician Review and Results

Results are typically available in about one week and are reviewed by a doctor. Results are then shared with you by email or LINE. If urgent follow-up is needed, our team may contact you sooner by phone.
