Why Test Micronutrients?
Nutrient status is a vital foundation of health, with each micronutrient playing a crucial role in ensuring optimal cell function. When some cells do not perform at their best, our overall health is compromised, increasing the risk of disease. Identifying and correcting nutritional deficiencies is essential for maintaining long-term optimal health.
Vitamin deficiencies are not just a reflection of diet. Because we are biochemically unique, nutrient deficiencies vary from person to person and do not always correlate directly with nutrient intake, even among those with similar health conditions. Many factors beyond diet influence nutrient function, including biochemical individuality, genetic predisposition, absorption and metabolism, age, disease conditions, and medications.
