Completion of this test takes about 3 minutes. First fill out the questionnaire. This gives a good impression of your intake of essential micronutrients and, equally important, those micronutrients of which you could take some additional amounts. Then proceed to your results and your advice. The program, designed by nutritionists, analyses amongst other things your intake of vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, flavonids, dietary fibres and essential fatty acids. The program also accounts for specific lifestyle conditions, such as : pregnancy, special diets, participation in sports, fatigue, lack of concentration and immunity. The advice can be seen online and will also be sent by e-mail. Take care to ensure that you give the correct e-mail address. Should you not receive the advice mail, please check acceptance of your initial registration mail from Vitunique on your system.

As explained under Folic Acid “ What are vitamins?” the need for vitamin B6 and B12 is also elevated at this time. Remark: You don’t have to worry about overdosing, since the composition remains far within safety limits.
