Micronutrient Test

Micronutrient Test – Personalize your nutrition by understanding your nutrient levels.

The Micronutrient Panel provides a comprehensive assessment of both intra- and extracellular levels of essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, and essential fatty acids.

This test identifies functional insufficiency, deficiency, overload, or toxicity in both extracellular and intracellular micronutrient levels. It also helps detect impaired micronutrient absorption or cellular transport, which can contribute to or increase the risk of chronic diseases.

This panel is particularly beneficial if you’re someone who ‘burns the candle at both ends’ i.e. athletes or anyone who’s been diagnosed with, or suspect you have, a chronic inflammatory condition, autoimmune disease (such as Celiac or Crohn’s), or any condition linked to nutrient malabsorption.

What are Micronutrients?

Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals needed in small amounts to support normal metabolism, growth, and overall health.

Role of Micronutrients in Health:

Nearly every physiological function in your body relies on micronutrients to operate at its best. Vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids and antioxidants are crucial for:

• Producing and releasing energy
• Boosting the immune system
• Reducing systemic inflammation
• Defending against free radical damage
• Maintaining a healthy hormonal balance (including thyroid, sex hormones,  and adrenal hormones, neurotransmitters, and brain hormones)
• Preserving insulin sensitivity
• Slowing down cellular aging
• Supporting the health of all tissues, including skin, bone, brain, breast, gut, prostate, heart, muscle, and organs
• Preventing the development, progression, and recurrence of chronic diseases

Is This Test Right for Me?

You might not be fully aware of what’s happening inside your body. Despite eating well, exercising, and taking care of yourself, you still don’t feel your best. The reason could be your nutritional status.

The Micronutrient Panel from Vibrant Wellness offers a comprehensive analysis of how effectively your body absorbs and utilizes essential nutrients. This information can help identify specific micronutrient deficiencies and guide precise dietary or supplementation protocols.

How Accurate is this test?

The Micronutrient Panel from Vibrant Wellness is a highly accurate and reliable test, developed with stringent standards. By measuring both extracellular and intracellular micronutrient levels using mass spectrometry technology, Vibrant Wellness ensures your results are comprehensive and precise.

How it Works:

This is a blood test. We’ll send you the test kit and then you take it to a lab near you where a person will draw your blood and send the kit off to the lab.

Once the lab completes the test, we’ll send you the results via email!
