Nutrient Gap Finder · Free · 3 minutes

What is your body
trying to tell you?

Afternoon crashes, brain fog, restless nights, slow recovery — most of us write these off as “just life.” Often they follow a recognisable nutrient pattern. Answer 19 quick questions in this free nutrient deficiency quiz and see which gaps your answers point to, and what to do about each one.

About this check

The Nutrient Gap Finder nutrient deficiency quiz, answered plainly.

Is this a medical diagnosis?

No. The Nutrient Gap Finder matches everyday symptom patterns to the nutrients most often involved, for education. Only a blood test can confirm a deficiency — 25-OH vitamin D, B12, serum magnesium, ferritin and a complete blood count are the most useful starting panel.

Is this a vitamin deficiency quiz or a blood test?

It is a vitamin deficiency quiz: a set of questions about how you feel, eat and train. If you are asking “which vitamins do I need?”, it gives you a starting point. A nutrient deficiency test at a lab, done on a blood sample, is what confirms it.

Which nutrients does it check?

Eleven, each scored separately: vitamin B12, vitamin B6, folate (Vitamin B9), vitamin D3 + K2, vitamin C, magnesium, zinc + copper, omega-3, iron, protein and creatine. If B12 and folate both flag, you see two separate results, not one vague “B-vitamins” bucket.

What if it finds no gaps?

That’s a genuinely good result, and the check will tell you so plainly — it doesn’t invent recommendations. A blood test is still the best way to confirm.

Why does it ask about gender?

Some needs differ between men and women — folate before and during pregnancy, bone density after 30, and cycle-related changes. Answering adjusts the scoring and adds notes where they’re relevant. “Prefer not to say” works fine too.

Do I need to give my email?

No. Results appear instantly on this page. No email, no signup, and your answers aren’t stored.

How are the results worked out?

Each answer adds weight to the nutrients most commonly associated with it — for example, tingling in the hands and feet weighs heavily toward B12, and a vegetarian diet adds to B12, omega-3, iron, protein and creatine, and regular strength training adds to protein and creatine. A nutrient only appears in your results once its total crosses a set threshold.

Which Evo Hominus™ products does it recommend?

Only where one genuinely fits. A magnesium gap points to Pure Magnesium Glycinate, our 100% non-buffered magnesium glycinate. An omega-3 gap points to Ultra-Pure rTG Omega-3, coming next. For B-vitamins, vitamin D3 + K2 and vitamin C, our Bioactive Multivitamin is in development. Every other result, including iron, protein and creatine, gets food-first advice and the blood tests to confirm it.

Why does it check protein and creatine?

Because they matter for muscle, and both run low on vegetarian diets. Most of the protein in Indian diets comes from cereals, and creatine comes only from meat and fish. If you train regularly, the check looks at whether your diet is keeping up.

Will it tell me to take iron?

No. If your answers point to iron, the result tells you to ask for a haemoglobin and ferritin blood test. The right iron dose depends on that result and should come from your doctor.
