Book Your PRIME ProfileOVERVIEW
The Vitamin Panel is a comprehensive blood analysis that measures your levels of essential vitamins and micronutrients — the building blocks your body requires for energy production, immune function, skin health, cognitive performance, and cellular repair. Rather than guessing at supplementation, this panel provides the objective data that drives precise, physician-guided interventions.
The WunderLife Vitamin Panel covers key markers including vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D), vitamin B12 (methylmalonic acid and holotranscobalamin for functional status), folate, vitamin B6, iron studies (ferritin, transferrin saturation, serum iron), magnesium, zinc, selenium, and vitamin A. Additional markers may be included based on your clinical presentation and PRIME Profile findings.
Many routine blood tests check only serum levels, which can appear normal even when cellular stores are depleted. At WunderLife in Bad Vilbel, near Frankfurt, Dr. med. Désirée Grawunder selects functional markers — tests that reveal how your body is actually using these nutrients, not just what is circulating in your blood. This distinction is critical for accurate diagnosis and effective supplementation.
The Vitamin Panel directly informs the formulation of your WunderRise morning and WunderReset evening supplement protocols. Without this data, supplementation is guesswork. With it, every capsule in your daily protocol has a documented clinical reason.
THE PROCESS
The Vitamin Panel is typically ordered during or after your PRIME Profile Consultation. Dr. med. Désirée Grawunder identifies which markers to include based on your medical history, reported symptoms (fatigue, cognitive fog, skin changes, immune vulnerability), dietary patterns, and any existing supplementation. The panel may also be ordered as a standalone assessment or as a follow-up to track response to supplementation.
A venous blood sample is drawn at the WunderLife clinic or at a partnering laboratory. The draw takes approximately 5 minutes and requires no special preparation beyond standard fasting guidelines (typically 8–12 hours for accurate iron and certain vitamin measurements). Dr. Grawunder specifies fasting requirements based on the markers ordered.
Samples are processed by an accredited German laboratory. Results are typically available within 5 to 10 business days depending on the markers included. Specialized functional markers (such as holotranscobalamin for B12 status) may require slightly longer processing.
Dr. Grawunder reviews all results in the context of your full PRIME Profile — not as isolated numbers, but as part of your complete metabolic picture. She identifies deficiencies, suboptimal levels, and any values that warrant monitoring, then explains the clinical significance of each finding.
Panel results directly inform your treatment plan: WunderRise and WunderReset supplement formulations, IV therapy protocols if deficiencies are significant enough to warrant intravenous correction, dietary recommendations, and follow-up testing schedules to confirm improvement.
IDEAL CANDIDATES
The Vitamin Panel is appropriate for any patient who wants objective, data-driven insight into their micronutrient status. It is particularly valuable for those whose symptoms or risk factors suggest possible deficiency.
New patients beginning their PRIME Protocol who need a baseline nutrient assessment. Patients experiencing persistent fatigue, brain fog, or low energy without clear explanation. Those with dietary restrictions (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free) that increase deficiency risk. Patients with digestive conditions affecting absorption (IBS, celiac, Crohn's disease). Individuals taking medications known to deplete nutrients (proton pump inhibitors, metformin, oral contraceptives). Patients already supplementing who want to verify their protocol is actually working. Athletes or high-demand professionals whose nutrient requirements may exceed standard dietary intake. Anyone over 40, as absorption efficiency declines with age.
Patients who have had comprehensive micronutrient testing within the past 3 months from a comparable laboratory do not need to repeat immediately. Dr. med. Désirée Grawunder reviews existing results where available to avoid unnecessary testing.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
Depending on the markers ordered, you may be asked to fast for 8 to 12 hours before your appointment (water is permitted). If fasting is required, Dr. med. Désirée Grawunder or the clinic team will confirm this when scheduling. Continue all regular medications unless specifically advised otherwise.
A standard venous blood draw from your arm — the same process as any routine blood test. The draw takes approximately 5 minutes. A small adhesive bandage is applied afterward. There is no pain beyond a brief pinch, and no recovery period.
You can resume all normal activities immediately. Eat, drink, exercise, and go about your day without restriction. A small bruise at the draw site is possible and resolves within a few days.
Results are typically available within 5 to 10 business days. Dr. Grawunder reviews all results before sharing them with you. A follow-up appointment (in person or virtual) is scheduled to walk through the findings, explain their significance, and discuss any treatment adjustments. You never receive raw lab numbers without clinical context.
SAFETY & SCIENCE
The Vitamin Panel is a standard diagnostic blood test. It is one of the lowest-risk procedures in medicine.
Blood is drawn using standard sterile, single-use equipment. The procedure carries minimal risk — brief discomfort during the draw, and a small chance of bruising at the puncture site. Serious complications from venipuncture are extremely rare.
All samples are processed by accredited German laboratories that meet rigorous quality control standards. Results are verified before release and reviewed by Dr. med. Désirée Grawunder before any clinical decisions are made.
The real safety concern with vitamin testing is not the blood draw — it is misinterpretation of results. Over-the-counter lab services and consumer testing platforms often provide numbers without clinical context, leading to inappropriate self-supplementation. At WunderLife, every result is interpreted by a licensed physician within the full context of your medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals. This prevents both under-treatment of genuine deficiencies and unnecessary supplementation that can cause harm (for example, excessive vitamin A or iron).
All laboratory results are stored in compliance with German data protection regulations (DSGVO/GDPR) and are part of your confidential medical record at WunderLife.
THE PRIME PROTOCOL
The Vitamin Panel is a Profile-phase diagnostic tool that generates the data driving multiple treatment decisions within the PRIME Protocol.
The panel is typically ordered during the initial PRIME Profile Consultation. It provides the objective nutrient baseline against which all supplementation and IV therapy protocols are designed. Without this data, the Body pillar of the BAM Framework lacks its diagnostic foundation.
Significant deficiencies identified by the panel trigger Repair-phase interventions: targeted IV therapy for rapid correction, high-dose oral supplementation via WunderRise and WunderReset, and dietary modifications. The panel data determines both the intervention and its intensity.
Follow-up Vitamin Panels during the Maintain phase confirm that corrective interventions have worked and that optimal levels are being sustained. Dr. med. Désirée Grawunder uses longitudinal panel data to fine-tune supplement dosing over time.
In the Enhance phase, the panel may be expanded to include additional markers relevant to advanced optimization goals — trace minerals, antioxidant capacity, or specialized functional markers. The panel evolves as your protocol advances.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The standard WunderLife Vitamin Panel includes vitamin D, B12 (with functional markers), folate, B6, iron studies, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and vitamin A. Additional markers may be added based on your clinical presentation and PRIME Profile findings.
Depending on the markers ordered, fasting for 8 to 12 hours may be required for accurate results (particularly iron studies). Water is permitted during fasting. The clinic will confirm fasting requirements when scheduling your appointment.
An initial panel establishes your baseline. Follow-up testing is typically ordered 8 to 12 weeks after beginning supplementation to confirm deficiencies are correcting. Once stable, annual or biannual panels are usually sufficient for monitoring. Dr. med. Désirée Grawunder determines the appropriate testing schedule based on your results.
The Vitamin Panel is available as a standalone test, though it is most valuable when interpreted within the context of a full PRIME Profile. Dr. Grawunder reviews all results personally and provides clinical interpretation regardless of how the panel is ordered.
The initial PRIME Profile blood work, which may include vitamin markers, is included in all memberships. The standalone Vitamin Panel as an add-on is priced separately. Specific pricing is confirmed during your consultation.
A multivitamin delivers standardized doses of everything regardless of what your body actually needs. Some patients have excess levels of certain nutrients and deficiencies in others. Testing allows Dr. Grawunder to prescribe exactly what is needed at the right dose — avoiding both under-supplementation and the risks of over-supplementation.
