Nutritional supplements

You can be deficient in micronutrients and not even know it. Studies have shown that 50% of patients taking a multivitamin are functionally deficient in one or more essential nutrients that are vital to long term health. Scientific evidence also confirms such deficiencies are associated with disease processes and the overall condition of your health. Deficiencies suppress the function of the immune system and contribute to degenerative processes.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT TO TAKE?

Sometimes it is difficult to know what supplements you might need. We use two tests  in order to determine if you might benefit from nutritional supplements. The first test is obtained by blood test analysis of your lymphocyte growth patterns and the second test is obtained by analysis of your DNA obtained from swabbing the inside of your cheek.

1.    Functional Intracellular Analysis (FIA) is a next generation blood test for measuring specific vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other essential micronutrients within an individual's white blood cells (lymphocytes). For more information about this test, click here. This test is  covered by Medicare and most PPO and POS insurance plans.

2. Gene SNP analysis: The Gene SNP DNA Screening Analysis provides the latest in advanced technology and sophisticated scientific and nutritional analysis. Its purpose is to improve the health, wellness and quality of life of an individual through a uniquely customized nutritional program based on the analysis of their genetic makeup. Through a simple test procedure, a DNA sample and responses to a questionnaire can be conveniently collected from you and subjected to an advanced nutritional analysis. Your genetic profile will form the basis of your individualized nutritional formula and recommended lifestyle changes. Click here for more information about this test.
