Nutritional Health
Nutritional Health - Overview
Understanding your nutritional health markers is the start of your health optimisation journey. Often, symptoms are dismissed as everyday life stresses and fatigue, however, a simple blood test can determine if your symptoms are a result of nutritional deficiencies such as Iron, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, among others.
The nutritional health screen is a blood test that tests for nutritional deficiencies as well as potential issues of the thyroid functionality. These can cause symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog or hair loss if not addressed.

Our medical doctors may recommend an Intravenous Iron Infusion if oral iron is not effective or prompt correction of iron deficiency is needed.
The latest generations of IV iron (such as ferric derisomaltose or iron carboxymaltose), are effective forms of treatment of iron deficiency and usually improve symptoms in less than a week.
​
Although the risk of serious adverse side effects is low, IV iron should be administered in a monitored setting by trained medical staff.
​
The standard dose given is 500mg iron but up to 1,000mg can be administered via a single infusion. The infusion is administered by qualified medical staff who continuously monitor patients closely during the procedure. When considering different healthcare providers that administer iron infusions, we recommend you ask which iron they are using and check what dosage will be given (as you will usually need at least 500mg). The older generation of IV irons deliver 100-200mg with each dose so multiple sessions will be required to achieve iron repletion.
​
Our pricing ranges from S$475 - S$900 (excl. GST) depending on the dose administered and does not include a medical consult.
