• Fasting for 8–10 hours may be advised, especially if the test is part of a larger health check package.
• Avoid calcium or vitamin supplements for at least 24 hours before sample collection, unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
• Inform the laboratory team about any medications or supplements you are currently taking.
• Stay well hydrated before the test unless instructed otherwise.
• Carry your doctor’s prescription and valid ID proof at the time of sample collection.
• For follow-up testing, maintain similar preparation conditions to ensure consistent results.

The Bone Screen Profile measures three important parameters that play a crucial role in bone and nerve health:

• Vitamin D3: Helps the body absorb calcium and maintain bone density. Low levels are associated with bone pain, muscle weakness, and increased fracture risk.
• Vitamin B12: Essential for nerve function and red blood cell production. Deficiency may cause fatigue, numbness, and neurological symptoms.
• Calcium: A major mineral required for strong bones and teeth, muscle contraction, and nerve signaling.

Doctors commonly recommend this profile to:

• Assess bone health and fracture risk
• Diagnose nutritional deficiencies
• Monitor osteoporosis or osteopenia
• Evaluate muscle weakness or chronic fatigue
• Monitor response to supplementation or treatment

The test involves collecting a small blood sample from a vein in the arm. The procedure is quick, safe, and minimally uncomfortable. Results are interpreted collectively to assess overall bone and metabolic health.

Imbalances in these parameters can contribute to weakened bones, impaired nerve function, and reduced quality of life. Early detection allows timely dietary modification, supplementation, or medical treatment to restore balance and prevent long-term complications.
