Identifying and correcting nutritional deficiencies is an important step in the long-term maintenance of your optimal health. Our wellness consult includes a micronutrient test (valued at $460) and a targeted action plan (food education, access to IV vitamin hydration, and supplement recommendation) based on your SpectraCell results. It's time for a personalized approach that seeks to understand you—as a whole system, not just a fraction of your health status!
What is a Micronutrient Test?
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 31 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. Repletion recommendations are made based on need.
Why use the SpectraCell Micronutrient test?
What truly makes the SpectraCell test unique is that it measures the functional level and capability of micronutrients present within white blood cells, where metabolism takes place and where micronutrients do their job—thus taking a person’s biochemical individuality into account. Unlike static serum measurements, which only assess the concentration of nutrients present outside of the cell (extracellular) and only provide a glimpse of your health, SpectraCell’s Micronutrient test is a long-term assessment (4-6 months) that addresses the functional impact(performance) of micronutrients—what really matters.
Why is nutrient status important?
Virtually all metabolic and developmental processes that take place in the body require micronutrients, and strong evidence suggests that subtle vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant deficiencies can contribute to degenerative processes such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Vitamin deficiencies are not just a reflection of diet. Since we are all biochemically unique, nutrient deficiencies will vary from patient to patient, and do not necessarily correlate directly with nutrient intake, even among those with similar health conditions. Many factors beyond diet determine whether the nutrient function is adequate. These include biochemical individuality, genetic predisposition, absorption and metabolism, age, disease conditions, and medications.
When should a micronutrient test be considered?
Anytime! Evaluating micronutrient status can be the first step in identifying metabolic inadequacies while shedding light on the possible underlying causes of complex chronic conditions. A micronutrient test can also be considered to optimized health, wellness, and optimize sport/fitness performance.
Extensive scientific and clinical studies spanning 50 years have repeatedly demonstrated that micronutrient deficiencies can adversely affect health. These deficiencies can set the stage for chronic disease and compromised immune health at any stage in life, particularly if they persist.
Many common diseases and conditions are linked to nutrient imbalance. Some of these include:
Expected Turnaround Time: 10-14 business days
~ Light-Emitting Diode (LED) therapy ~
LED therapy is an FDA and CE cleared, non-invasive treatment for acne, wrinkles, and pain. Our device uses blue, red, and infrared lights.
Best results from light come if you can do a series of 12-16 over the course of 6-8 weeks. However, the light does continue to build with each treatment so incorporating it into your regular facials is extremely beneficial as well.
