Are Micronutrient Deficiencies holding you back from your Optimal Health
Vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies have been shown to suppress the function of the immune system which can contribute to degenerative processes such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. You may be deficient in some vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and/or other essential micronutrients and not even know it. Nutrient status is important because of biochemical individuality, absorption problems, chronic illness, aging and lifestyle. This micronutrient testing takes all the above factors and many others into consideration to identify your nutrient status. With this information, specific deficiencies that could negatively influence your health may be corrected.

University research shows that 50% of people taking multivitamins are still nutritionally deficient
Standard test results do not measure if the nutrient is properly functioning within the body. SpectraCell Laboratories developed their exclusive, patented micronutrient testing to measure the function of selected vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other essential micronutrients within your white blood cells. Analysis can reveal a person’s functional nutrient status over a much longer time period than conventional serum testing. SpectraCell’s tests give a more meaningful measurement of nutritional status than all other nutritional testing.
But I eat a balanced diet, exercise and take a multivitamin...
WHY IS NUTRIENT STATUS IMPORTANT?
BIOCHEMICAL INDIVIDUALITY
Because each of us is metabolically and biochemically unique, the micronutrient requirements for one person may be quite different than the requirements of another.
ABSORPTION
Although you may eat a balanced diet, if you do not absorb vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and/or other essential micronutrients properly, you may have deficiencies.
CHRONIC ILLNESS
Health conditions such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, fatigue and multiple sclerosis, to name a few, can be affected, directly or indirectly, by micronutrient deficiencies.
AGING
Our micronutrient requirements at age 30 are quite different from our requirements at age 40, 50 and beyond. Absorption difficulties, especially of vitamin B12, quite commonly occur as we age.
LIFESTYLE
Excessive physical activity, prescription drugs, smoking, alcohol and sedentary habits all impact micronutrient demands.
Spectracell’s micronutrient testing is the only test that takes all the above factors and many others into consideration to identify your nutrient status. With this information, specific deficiencies that could negatively influence your health may be corrected.
