What it can help explain.
Low levels of key nutrients can sit behind tiredness, frequent colds or low mood. This test shows whether a gap is part of the picture.
Tiredness
Shows whether low B12, folate or magnesium could be adding to how tired you feel, alongside the iron in your Baseline.
Getting sick often
Checks vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc and selenium, which your immune system relies on.
Mood and focus
Looks at B12, folate, iron and iodine, which are linked to energy, mood and clear thinking.
Restricted diets
Useful if you eat plant-based, avoid food groups or have changed your diet a lot, which can leave gaps.

How it works.
- Order with your membership
Pay for the test and your first month together, in one checkout.
- We arrange your referral
A short telehealth call with a GP in our network, included. They issue your Baseline and Essential Nutrients Test referrals together.
- Take your test
Take your referral to any of 3,700+ partner collection centres, with no booking needed. You give one blood draw, usually with your Baseline, and a small urine sample at the same visit.
- See your results
Results arrive in the app, next to your Baseline. After your Baseline, a 30-minute session with your dietitian builds your plan.
Before your test.
Fasting
8 to 12 hours
Your Baseline in the same draw needs a fast, so go in the morning with water only.
Supplements
Tell the GP what you take
Recent B12, iron and high-dose biotin can change some results, so tell the GP what you take.
Urine sample
At the same visit
Iodine is measured in a random urine sample, so it doesn't need to be your first urine of the day.
After your results.
- Your numbers, against optimal

- Your Baseline, explained
A 30-minute session with your dietitian after your Baseline, to go through what stands out in plain English.

A few clear changes to food, movement, sleep and stress that fit your week.

Questions people ask us.
Can I just buy the test on its own?
No, it's for Vively members. Nutrient results make more sense next to the rest of your health. Your membership is $99 a month and includes the Baseline Health Check, a GP consult, a 30-minute dietitian consult after your Baseline and a personalised plan. Cancel any time, with no minimum term.
Why not just ask my GP?
Your GP tests what's needed to look into a symptom or manage a condition. Vively adds a 70+ marker Baseline Health Check, results read against optimal ranges, and a dietitian to help you act on them. We arrange the GP referral for you, so you don't need a separate appointment.
What if I'm already a member?
Add the Essential Nutrients Test in the Vively app. You won't pay for the membership again.
Do I need to see my own GP first?
No. You still need a referral, but we arrange it. A GP in our network issues your Baseline and Essential Nutrients Test referrals together after a short telehealth consult, at no extra cost.
Is this test covered by Medicare?
No. Add-on tests aren't covered by Medicare. Your Baseline Health Check is included in your membership.
How do I prepare for this test?
Fast for 8 to 12 hours, with water only, and go in the morning. Keep taking prescribed medicines. Tell the GP in our network about any supplements, especially B12, iron and biotin, as recent use can change some results.
Why is iodine checked in urine?
Most of the iodine you take in leaves the body in urine, so a urine sample is the standard way to check recent iodine intake. A random sample at any time of day is fine.
How long do results take?
Most results arrive within a few business days. Some trace minerals can take up to 14 business days, and each result appears in the app as it arrives.
