Micronutrient & Antioxidant Testing
Advanced metabolic and lab testing to better understand your body and personalize your nutrition plan.
Did you know that 50% of people who lead a healthy lifestyle and take a multivitamin are still deficient in micronutrients and have antioxidant deficiencies?
We are all biochemically, genetically, and metabolically unique, and so are our nutrient needs. Some conditions, such as IBS, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and diabetes affect how efficiently we absorb many nutrients, and create a higher demand for the body to function properly. Aging, taking prescription drugs, environmental stressors, and physical activity all impact micronutrient status and demand.
Just Some of the Conditions That Can Be Affected by Nutrient Status Are
- Diabetes
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Weight Loss Resistance
- Sports Performance
- Sleep Patterns
- Osteoporosis
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Migraines
- Hypertension
- Inflammation
- Stress Tolerance
- Hormone Balance
Standard blood tests only measure the amount of nutrients found in the fluid outside the cells at the time of the blood draw.
SpectraCell’s micronutrient testing uses proprietary technology to assess nutritional deficiencies by measuring how well micronutrients function within the cells—where critical metabolic processes occur—providing a long-term view of nutrient status over several months.

FAQ
Q. What is metabolic testing (RMR testing)?
Metabolic testing, also called resting metabolic rate (RMR) testing, measures how many calories your body burns at rest. This gives you an accurate baseline for weight loss, weight gain, or maintenance.
Q. How can metabolic testing help with weight loss?
Metabolic testing helps remove guesswork by showing exactly how many calories your body needs. This allows you to set precise calorie targets and adjust your diet for more effective and sustainable weight loss.
Q. Who should consider RMR metabolic testing?
RMR testing is ideal for individuals who struggle with weight loss, have hit a plateau, or want a more personalized nutrition plan. It is also helpful for athletes or anyone looking to improve body composition and metabolic health.
Q. What happens during a metabolic test?
During a metabolic test, you sit in a relaxed position and breathe into a device for about 5–10 minutes. The test measures oxygen consumption and provides immediate results, including your daily calorie needs.
