Micronutrient & Antioxidant Testing
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.
