MICRONUTRIENT TESTING
A closer look at your vitamin, mineral, and nutrient status
Micronutrients are the vitamins and minerals your body needs in small or trace amounts to function properly. For many years, a "healthy diet" was thought to supply all the vitamins and minerals we need, and years ago, when everything was grown at home, that was often true. Times have changed, and today many people fall short without realizing it.
Micronutrient testing is a great way to determine whether you're getting the nutrients you need from the foods you eat and the supplements you take. A nutrient deficiency now can create the potential for long-term chronic disease and illness. We use SpectraCell's Micronutrient test, which provides one of the most comprehensive nutrient analyses available, measuring functional deficiencies at the cellular level. It assesses how well your body utilizes 33 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, antioxidants, and metabolites, reflecting what your cells have absorbed over the past 4-5 months.
Did you know that about 50% of people taking multivitamins are still micronutrient deficient despite supplementation? Excessive physical activity, prescription drugs, smoking, alcohol, sedentary habits, and physical, emotional, or environmental stressors can all impact your micronutrient status and demands. And even with a balanced diet, you may have deficiencies if your body does not properly absorb vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
