Nutritional Testing

 Nutrition is at the core of integrative health, and Micronutrient Testing is the most advanced diagnostic tool available

Micronutrient testing measures how micronutrients are actually functioning within your  white blood cells.  These tests allow your nutritional assessment for a broad variety of clinical conditions, general wellness and the prevention of chronic diseases including arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular risk, diabetes, various immunological disorders and metabolic disorders.

Nutritional balance plays a key role in optimal wellness, chronic disease prevention and managing the aging process

• Do you find yourself feeling stressed, tired and maybe a little depressed?
• Do you take prescription medicines to alleviate symptoms of certain conditions, but wonder why the condition exists at all?
• Do you want to boost your immune system now, to possibly prevent chronic disease later?

Be Proactive, NOT Reactive

Traditionally, a person waited to go to the doctor at the first signs of a symptom.  Today, individuals are looking for way to not only manage illness with personalized treatment plans, but they are also seeking to achieve a higher level of wellness.

Eating a balanced diet, exercising and taking a multivitamin is simply not enough.  Each person’s body is unique in its own way.  Due to the complexity of the human body, an individualized healthcare approach is the only way to guarantee optimal results.

What is Micronutrient Testing?

Micronutrient tests measure the function of 35 nutritional components including vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and amino acids within our white blood cells.  Scientific evidence shows us that analyzing the white blood cells gives us the most accurate analysis of a body’s deficiencies.

Micronutrient test includes:

 

Vitamins Vitamin A Vitamin B1 Vitamin B2 Vitamin B3 Vitamin B6 Vitamin B12 Biotin Folate Pantothenate Vitamin C Vitamin D Vitamin K

Minerals Calcium Magnesium Manganese Zinc Copper Amino Acids Asparagine Glutamine Serine Fatty Acids Oleic Acid

Antioxidants Alpha Lipoic Acid Coenzyme Q10 Cysteine Glutathione Selenium Vitamin E Carbohydrate Metabolism Chromium Fructose Sensitivity Glucose-Insulin Metabolism

Metabolites Choline Inositol Carnitine SPECTROX™ for Total Antioxidant Function IMMUNIDEX™ Immune Response Score

IMMUNIDEX™  Immune Response Score

An IMMUNIDEX™ score is one measurement to evaluate a person’s cell-mediated immune system performance. Specifically, it measures T-cell lymphocyte proliferation. Since immune function is a systemic measure of general health, a higher IMMUNIDEX™ score is generally desired since it means a person can respond efficiently not only to exogenous threats such as pathogens or allergens, but also to endogenous threats like tumors. The immune system, comprised of both cell-mediated (Th1) and humoral (Th2) components, when balanced and performing optimally, affords us critical protection and promotes health and wellness.

Micronutrient deficiencies will undermine a person’s immune function, and thus lower the IMMUNIDEX™. Since the highly complex immune system is dependent on the intracellular availability of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, correcting specific micronutrient deficiencies typically raises the IMMUNIDEX™ and contributes to tangible clinical benefits, such as reduced infections and may assist in achieving Th1/Th2 balance.
