A basic test costs $290 dollars.
Why Micronutrient Testing?
Verify balanced levels of nutritional functioning based on your individual biochemistry. Micronutrient test measures over 30 different vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and elements of carbohydrate metabolism. Your current supplemental regimen may be based on sound advice and science, but knowing what specific deficiencies exist for you is key to optimal health and prevention.
Why Is Functional Testing Better?
Serum testing measures nutrients levels in a very short window. MicroNutrient Testing measures LONG-TERM nutrient status over 3 – 6 MONTHS Serum testing only measures nutrient status outside the cell in the serum MicroNutrient Testing measures nutrient status WITHIN the patient’s own cells determining ABSORPTION.
Nutrient Status Is A Vital Foundation Of Health
Each micronutrient plays an individual and indispensable role in promoting optimal functioning of all our cells. When some of our cells do not function at their best, the foundation of our health is compromised, setting the stage for the development of disease. By identifying and correcting functional micronutrient deficiencies, you are taking an important step toward long-term maintenance of optimal health.
Micronutrient Test Is More Advanced Than Other Laboratory Tests
Before the introduction of the Micronutrient Test, many diagnosis and risk assessments were based on clinical observation and measurements of static levels of certain nutrients in serum. Static serum levels are not always representative indicators for assessing cell metabolism and utilization.
MicroNutrient Test offers a unique means to scientifically assess the intracellular requirements of micronutrients that play an important role in overall health and wellness.
Micronutrient test measure the biochemical function of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants, providing a powerful clinical assessment tool. Our panels are designed to provide you with the most comprehensive nutritional analysis available.
What If I Am Deficient?
As the only lab that can offer a truly functional intracellular testing (Micronutrient Test), we also provide you with targeted nutrient repletion recommendations for those vitamins and minerals found to be deficient.
Why Nutritional Testing Is Important?
Nutrient deficiencies are common, in fact 90% of people are deficient and 50% of those are already taking supplements. Vitamin deficiencies contribute to common degenerative disease like heart disease, stroke, cancer and Alzheimer's.
Many prescription medication can cause nutrient depletions. (Ask us to provide you with a chart) Having a strong antioxidant defense system protects you against heart disease, cancer and other chronic conditions. There can be too much of a "good thing" -- too many antioxidants can be harmful. The only way to know what you need is to be tested. Simply taking a multivitamin may not be enough to meet your nutritional needs. You might be over supplementing with unnecessary vitamins, minerals or antioxidants.
