Fatigue often has multiple causes simultaneously. Vitamin D and B12 deficiencies are very common and easily treatable. Thyroid problems (hypothyroidism) are a common but often overlooked cause of fatigue. Anemia due to iron deficiency causes extreme tiredness. Magnesium deficiency leads to muscle weakness and fatigue. This test requires fasting for accurate results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does it indicate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe results point to specific causes of your fatigue.
