Basic blood test

[perform.nz]

(I know their previous posts on this, but im after a slightly different answer)

I'm interested in getting a blood panel done  covering vitamin and minerals I'm not planning  on a hormone panel at this stage.  

 

My question is who has had this done and what did you ask for? plus is their a way to avoid going through a GP to get this done?

I have had B vitamins and Iron tested to see what caused me to have an aura migraine  that resulted in prolonged vision loss... 

 

You can just got to pathlab or whatever and tick the boxes you want tested. Way cheaper if you go to GP and convince them to do vitamin and mineral panel as cost of blood test >>> GP cost
