SpectraCell’s Micronutrient test provides the most comprehensive nutritional analysis available by measuring functional deficiencies at the cellular level. It is an assessment of how well the body utilizes 33 vitamins, minerals, amino/fatty acids, antioxidants, and metabolites, while conveying the body’s need for these micronutrients that enable the body to produce enzymes, hormones, and other substances essential for proper growth, development, and good health. This test provides the basis of a personalized, functional approach in addressing a broad variety of clinical conditions including arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular risk, diabetes, various immunological disorders, metabolic disorders and micronutrient deficiencies.

Clinical Applications – How will this help my patients?

Identifying the right patient is simple. Our diagnostic profiles offer a window to the cell that can provide improved healthcare for all patients. However, the potential for clinical benefit is particularly evident in these patient groups:

DISEASE THERAPY AND MANAGEMENT:
Diagnose and treat nutritional risk factors that contribute to the therapy/management of many degenerative disease conditions.

FAMILY HISTORY:
Provide prevention measures for patients with family history of common chronic disease conditions.

HIGH RISK GROUPS:
Certain high risk groups are more susceptible to vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies that can affect treatment outcomes and overall health.

PROACTIVE RISK ASSESSMENT:
Provide customized prevention by early detection of nutritional deficiencies for proactive patients.

CHALLENGING CASES:
Gain insight into generalized complaints with no apparent specific disease source and to provide treatment options based on biochemical individuality.
