Vitamins and minerals play and important part in our health. Unfortunately, because of many variables, many of us may not be getting the adequate nutrients we need to live optimally. Toxins and hormone disrupting chemicals are all around us only exaggerate the negative effects of not having adequate nutrition.
Vitamins And Nutrition
Using our advanced vitamin and micronutrient testing, we customize your “supplement prescription” to match your body’s exact needs. Standard test results may not measure if a nutrient is properly functioning within the body. Rather than guessing what you need, we test your blood so we can see the status of the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in your body. This form of testing should give us a picture of your cellular function and health for the past four to eight months.
We use this information to prescribe your vitamins. By seeing a detailed picture of your deficiencies, we can correct your deficiencies with a customized pharmaceutical grade supplement program designed just for you.*
Your nutritional status can change over time based on your diet, lifestyle, and the medications you take. Knowing your nutritional deficiencies can help us identify risk factors that could prevent many degenerative conditions such arthritis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Correcting these issues can help promote health, prevent disease, and slow the process of aging.

Vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant deficiencies can suppress your immune system function, which can contribute to degenerative processes such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and cancer.
We do our micronutrient testing through SpectraCell Laboratories, which has developed an exclusive, patented micronutrient test that measures the function of key vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other essential micronutrients in your white blood cells. SpectraCell’s tests give a more meaningful measurement of nutritional status than all other nutritional testing.
We are all metabolically and biochemically unique, and micronutrient requirements can vary person to person. Our micronutrient requirements may also change as we age, and it’s common to develop absorption difficulties, especially of vitamin B12. Others may experience micronutrient deficiencies due to chronic illnesses or prescription drugs, and lifestyle choices such smoking, drinking, exercising excessively, or being too sedentary. You may be deficient in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and nutrients and not even know it.
When ordered for diagnostic purposes, test components are reimbursable by most insurance carriers.
A 2015 New York State attorney general’s office investigation into store-brand supplements at four national retailers – GNC, Target, Walgreens and Wal-Mart – found the nutritional supplements they sold contained few of the herbs shown on the label and neglected to include potential allergens on the ingredients list.
