The value

Why it's worth knowing

The trace mineral panel biohackers track

Zinc, Copper, Selenium and Manganese measured together. The four trace minerals behind hormone production, immune function, antioxidant defence and thyroid health.

Depleted by training, sweat and dietary restriction

Active people lose trace minerals through sweat. Restrictive diets, vegan/vegetarian eating and excessive training all push these markers down.

Reveals the zinc-copper balance

Zinc and copper compete for absorption. An imbalance (high copper, low zinc) is linked to mood issues, immune dysfunction and metabolic problems.

Selenium is critical for thyroid conversion

Selenium converts T4 to active T3. Low selenium drives sluggish thyroid function even with normal TSH. Often overlooked in thyroid investigations.

Behind testosterone, recovery and immunity

Zinc drives testosterone, selenium supports recovery and immune function, manganese supports bone and joint health. Critical for athletes optimising performance.

Common questions

Everything you need to know before you order.

No GP consult or telehealth appointment needed. We instantly generate your pathology referral and send it directly to your inbox after checkout.
You can order any test you want without the gatekeeping.

Through your GP, blood tests are typically only bulk-billed under Medicare if you have a specific medical condition that justifies them. You can't just walk in and ask for a panel because you're curious or want a baseline. Your doctor decides which markers get tested, and that list is usually limited.

MediTests is for people who want to take a more proactive approach to their health. Whether you're looking for deeper insights, want to establish a personal baseline, or simply choose exactly which markers you want to track, you're in control. No condition required, no waiting room, no Medicare eligibility hurdles.

100%. We partner with NATA-accredited Australian laboratories, the same trusted labs used by hospitals and GPs across the country. Every result is processed to the same clinical standards as your local pathology centre.
Never. The price you see includes everything: referral, testing, processing and results. No surprises.
The most common reason is that something feels off but a standard GP panel hasn't turned anything up. Fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, low mood, poor recovery, irregular cycles and low libido all have measurable biological causes that a targeted panel can identify.

You don't need symptoms to benefit from testing. Proactive testing establishes your personal baseline, catches risk factors before they cause harm, and helps you understand whether diet, training or lifestyle changes are actually working.
Yes, absolutely. You can build your own panel by choosing from our wide range of individual tests. Whether you're checking one thing or a combination of markers, you're in control of what you get tested for. Visit our Create Your Own Test page to start building.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A very positive experience

I booked a blood test because my health insurance did not cover GP consultations. The referral form was emailed to me immediately, I walked into a collection centre the next morning and my results arrived the very next day. One result showed an elevated TSH level and because I was pregnant, a doctor from their Sydney office personally called me to talk it through. It made me feel they genuinely cared.

Could not have been better

I've been in remission from Graves Disease for a few years and suddenly had symptoms again. It was easy to choose and purchase the test I needed at a reasonable price and set up the appointment online for the next day. The lab tech was friendly and put me entirely at ease, and the results were delivered electronically within a day or two. Could not have been better.

Efficient from start to finish

I selected and ordered the tests I wanted online, then dropped into the clinic for the blood draw during my lunch break. The process was quick and efficient, and by lunchtime the following day my results had been emailed directly to me. Fast, convenient and hassle-free.

Trace Elements Test

A blood test assessing four essential minerals that are rarely included in standard health checks despite their central role in immune function, antioxidant defence, hormonal balance, cognitive performance and metabolic health. Unlike toxic heavy metals, these minerals are required by the body — but both deficiency and excess cause harm, and the balance between them matters as much as individual levels. Zinc and copper work in direct opposition, and elevated copper relative to zinc is one of the most underdiagnosed drivers of fatigue, mood instability and cognitive symptoms. Selenium has a narrow therapeutic window where deficiency impairs thyroid and immune function, while excess — common with aggressive supplementation — causes toxicity. Manganese is essential for antioxidant enzyme production but accumulates to harmful levels with overexposure. This panel gives you the full mineral picture most practitioners don’t think to order.

What we test for

Zinc: Plays a direct role in immune function, wound healing, hormone production, dopamine and serotonin regulation and reproductive health. Deficiency is common and frequently missed in standard testing. Best interpreted alongside copper, as the two minerals compete for absorption and function in opposition.

Copper: An essential mineral at normal levels, but elevated copper — which can rise with oestrogen exposure, certain supplements, copper plumbing and dietary sources — is associated with fatigue, anxiety, mood instability and cognitive symptoms. The copper-to-zinc ratio is a more clinically useful measure than either value in isolation.

Selenium: An essential trace mineral with a narrow therapeutic window — both deficiency and excess cause measurable harm. Critical for thyroid hormone conversion, antioxidant enzyme production and immune regulation. Deficiency is common in parts of Australia with selenium-poor soil; toxicity can occur with aggressive supplementation and should be monitored.

Manganese: Essential for the production of superoxide dismutase, the body’s primary antioxidant enzyme, as well as bone formation, carbohydrate metabolism and nerve function. Deficiency impairs antioxidant defence and metabolic health. Excess — from occupational exposure, contaminated water or over-supplementation — accumulates in the brain and is associated with neurological symptoms.
