Nutritional Deficiencies?

Hi,

I am trying to start taking supplements. I am drinking green tea three times a day and I use a lot of turmeric in all the curries that I prepare.

But, I want to approach this a little more scientifically. Can you all guide me on the right away to go about doing this? Should I get blood work done? I am guessing Insurance will not pay for this process...please advice.
