Better Questions. Clearer Answers.
MyVitaminScore is an online vitamin and mineral assessment that helps you better understand your possible nutrient needs using a symptom-based questionnaire and 25 nutrient signals.
Most people are trying to make health decisions with incomplete information. MyVitaminScore was built to give you a clearer, more personalized view of what your body may actually need.
What is MyVitaminScore?
MyVitaminScore is an online vitamin and mineral assessment that helps people better understand their possible nutrient needs using a symptom-based questionnaire and 25 nutrient signals. Instead of guessing which supplements to take, MyVitaminScore gives you a personalized nutrient profile showing where your body may need more support and where your current nutrition appears better supported.
Is MyVitaminScore a supplement store?
No. MyVitaminScore is not a supplement store. It is an online vitamin and mineral assessment designed to help you better understand your possible nutrient needs before making nutrition or supplement decisions. The goal is to give you clearer direction so you are not relying entirely on trends, guesswork, or random supplement advice.
How does MyVitaminScore work?
MyVitaminScore asks a series of questions about functional signs, patterns, and symptoms that may relate to nutrient demand. Your answers are analyzed across 25 nutrient signals, including vitamins, minerals, omega-3, and probiotic-related needs. The result is a personalized Vitamin Score and nutrient profile designed to help you understand your possible nutritional priorities more clearly.
What is a Vitamin Score?
Your Vitamin Score is a simple summary of how well your current nutrient picture appears to be meeting your body’s assessed nutrient demands. It is not a medical diagnosis. It is an educational score designed to help you see your nutrient pattern more clearly, including areas that may need more attention and areas that may already be better supported.
What does MyVitaminScore assess?
MyVitaminScore assesses 25 key nutrient areas, including essential vitamins, minerals, omega-3, and probiotic-related signals. The goal is to look at the full nutritional picture rather than focusing only on the few nutrients that happen to be popular online.
Can MyVitaminScore tell me what vitamins I need?
MyVitaminScore can help you understand which nutrients may be more relevant to your current biology. Your results are not based on generic trends or one-size-fits-all recommendations. They are based on the idea that nutrient needs vary from person to person, and that your body may provide useful signals about where nutritional support deserves more attention.
Does MyVitaminScore diagnose nutrient deficiencies?
No. MyVitaminScore does not diagnose nutrient deficiencies, diseases, or medical conditions. It is an educational tool that helps organize possible nutrient-related signals into a clearer pattern. If you need a diagnosis, medical treatment, or clinical testing, you should work with a qualified healthcare professional.
Is MyVitaminScore the same as a blood test?
No. MyVitaminScore is not a blood test and does not replace medical testing. Blood tests can be useful in certain clinical situations, but they do not always explain how someone feels, how their body is functioning, or where nutrient demand may be increasing. MyVitaminScore uses a different lens: the body’s functional signals.
Can I identify nutrient needs without blood tests?
You cannot confirm every nutrient deficiency without proper clinical testing, but your body can provide functional clues that suggest where nutrient demand may be higher. MyVitaminScore helps organize those clues into a more useful pattern so you can make more informed nutrition decisions instead of relying entirely on guesswork.
What makes MyVitaminScore different from other nutrition quizzes?
Most nutrition quizzes reduce the body to simple associations, like “this symptom means this vitamin.” Biology is not that simple. MyVitaminScore looks at broader patterns across many nutrient signals because nutrients do not work in isolation. The body functions as a system, and your results should be understood as a pattern, not as one disconnected score.
Why do nutrient needs differ from person to person?
People are biologically different. Genetics, lifestyle, stress, digestion, sleep, medication use, diet quality, environment, and life stage can all influence nutrient demand. Two people can eat the same diet and still have very different nutritional needs because their bodies may use, absorb, store, and require nutrients differently.
Why is guessing with supplements a problem?
Most people choose supplements based on trends, ads, symptoms, or whatever they heard was “good for” energy, sleep, hormones, gut health, or inflammation. The problem is that your body does not work from trends. It works from nutrient demand. MyVitaminScore helps give you a clearer direction by showing which nutrient areas may deserve more attention in your personal profile.
What do I get for free?
After completing the assessment, you receive a preview of your results, including your Vitamin Score and a sample of your nutrient signals. This gives you an initial look at your nutrient picture and helps you decide whether you want to unlock the full report.
What do I get when I unlock the full report?
The full report reveals your complete 25-nutrient pattern, including your lowest-scoring nutrient areas, your strongest nutrient areas, and personalized food and supplement guidance. The goal is to help you understand what to focus on first so you can make clearer decisions instead of buying supplements at random.
Does MyVitaminScore recommend supplements?
MyVitaminScore may provide supplement guidance based on your results, but food should always be the foundation. The purpose is not to push random supplements. The purpose is to help you understand which nutrient areas may deserve attention, what food sources may help, and where targeted support may be worth considering depending on your overall pattern.
Is MyVitaminScore personalized?
Yes. MyVitaminScore is personalized because your results are based on your answers, your symptom patterns, and your assessed nutrient signals. It does not assume everyone needs the same nutrients in the same amounts. It is designed around the idea that each person’s nutritional needs can be different.
How long does the assessment take?
Most people complete the assessment in under 10 minutes. You can do it from home using a computer, tablet, or mobile device.
Who is MyVitaminScore for?

No. MyVitaminScore is not medical advice and does not replace care from a qualified healthcare professional. It is an educational tool designed to help you better understand possible nutrient patterns and make more informed nutrition decisions.
