Summary

The measurement of micronutrient (small amounts of vitamins and minerals the body needs) status is essential to understand the health of individuals and populations, but there are limited data on the stability of micronutrients in whole blood. Researchers investigated the effect of delayed processing of whole blood on the stability of 25 micronutrient and selected clinical biomarkers.
