Patient Information Vegan Profiles

If you are following a vegan or largely plant-based diet, you are at greater risk of certain deficiencies that can cause longer-term health issues.  Blood and urine tests will help you to understand if you are getting enough of the nutrients you need.  Your Nutritionist can then tailor your diet based on your test results and advise you on where you would benefit from supplementation.

 

Basic Vegan Profile:  This includes the essential nutrients that are most commonly found to be deficient if you are following a vegan diet
Ferritin: Measurement of your iron stores.  Iron is best absorbed from animal sources and depletion of iron stores can cause fatigue and low energy
B12: This key vitamin is mainly found in animal-source foods and most vegans need to supplement with B12 on a regular basis. Deficiency can present as fatigue, joint pain, memory loss and low mood
Iodine: (urine) Iodine is essential for thyroid function and critical in pregnancy.  It is mainly found in dairy and fish and many vegans can be deficient
Other minerals including selenium, zinc, magnesium (red cell), copper, calcium, manganese and chromium: Mineral absorption is often decreased on a plant-based diet and vegans have the lowest mineral levels that we see in our clinic. It may be necessary to make efforts to optimise absorption of minerals from your food

 

Advanced Vegan Profile includes everything from the Basic Profile with the following additions:
Bone turnover test: (urine) Due to poor absorption of minerals, vegans may be at greater risk for decreased bone density and osteoporosis.  A bone turnover test assesses your current rate of bone loss so that you can make changes to decrease your risk under the advice of your Nutritionist
Vitamins A, C, E and D: The advanced profile also includes analysis of your vitamin levels, essential for general health. Vitamin D is critical for bone health and the immune system and while we get this from sunshine, it is also found in dairy and seafood which are not present in a vegan diet
Omega-3 and Essential Fatty Acids: The best sources of omega-3 are oily fish and many vegan diets are critically low in omega-3.  This is essential for your immune system, to reduce risk of chronic disease, skin health, eye health, fertility and brain health.

 

Test Procedure

  • Please stop taking all supplements for three days ahead of your blood test
  • You need to be fasting for 12 hours in advance of this test. Consume your normal diet ahead of testing
  • The test results will be returned to your nutritionist within 3 weeks. Test results will be interpreted by your nutritionist and a protocol tailored accordingly to correct deficiencies as identified.

Compared to my last test 8 months ago the morphology increased from 3% to 35% and my DNA Fragmentation went from 37% to 22%. I could only have achieved these results with your assistance and expertise and would like to thank you for all the guidanceEP, Limerick
Thankfully we dramatically improved the quality of my eggs and were left with one viable embryo which went on to be a successful pregnancy! We are over the moon and thrilled with our little girl.

I feel so alive and energised. The added bonuses are a healthy BMI, normal cholesterol levels, 20kgs lighter and a reduction to my metabolic age by 20 years+. It has been so worth all the time and effort to create this new healthy lifestyle. Thank you for all your excellent advice and encouragement. Your professionalism and attention to detail has brought me to this transformed new state, a new me!Maria, Dublin
Since my first appointment the improvement in my health is amazing. Symptoms of my Inflammatory Bowel Disease have decreased and my energy levels have increased. My hair has become more conditioned and my nails are less brittle. I can honestly recommend a visit to Glenville Nutrition Clinic for a particular illness or as a boost to your general wellbeing E.K, Galway
I FINALLY I lost all the extra pounds I was holding for two years, and my digestion improved MASSIVELY!! Nothing compared to when I first came looking for help!! I WILL ALWAYS BE SO THANKFUL FOR THAT, you wouldn't believe how much good you did for me, I was lost. Fitness Instructor, Dublin
My journey with Glenville Nutrition has made a vast improvement in my health and well-being. You’ve helped me to adopt a completely new approach to food and healthy eating. To date I have lost 26 lbs. In just 7 weeks my cholesterol dropped from 5.8 to 4.4. My arthritic joints have vastly improved and I look forward to my daily walk. Friends and family have complimented me on how well I look!! Again my sincere thanks & appreciation of your excellent blend of professionalism, encouragement and compassion. Kathleen, Galway
I had expected the physical benefits, but the mental and emotional benefits were unexpected and glorious. I cannot recommend Glenville Nutrition highly enough. I think it is fair to say that working with them changed my life. Sometimes you don’t even realise how bad you feel until you start to feel better. That is a gift that you can give yourself. Sincerest thanks for all you did for me.Aisling, Kilkenny
I am so thrilled with having met you at Glenville Nutrition. The advice and supplements I have received is helping me enormously. I am feeling 1000 times better since I first started.Patient, Dublin
