It could be you are lacking nutritional deficiencies. According to the NHANES Study, a large US national survey, 93% of Americans suffer some type of nutritional deficiency.

What is Micronutrient Testing?
Unlike most doctors that measures serum testing, micronutrient testing measures 35 nutritional components including proteins, vitamins and minerals, and antioxidants through our leukocytes. Recent research has showed by analyzing these cells gives a more accurate analysis of our body’s deficiencies. We have partnered with SpectaCell, considered the gold standard lab for micronutrient standing.

Vitamin, mineral and antioxidants deficiencies are thought to lead to degenerative conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. JAMA (June 19, 2002- Vol 287, p 23)
