The Key to Optimal Health: Understanding Nutritional Deficiencies

- Vitamin D – prolonged deficiency can result in rickets and osteoporosis.
- Vitamin B12 – deficiency can cause neurologic problems and blood diseases.
- Vitamin C – deficiency can lead to bleeding gums, and even scurvy.
- Vitamin K – deficiency can lead to hemorrhagic disease.
- Zinc – deficiency can contribute to acne, hair loss and weak immune response.
- Use of lymphocytes (white blood cells) for testing, instead of serum. Lymphocytes reflect nutrient status over the last 3-6 months.
- Measurement of how micronutrients and antioxidants function within the white blood cells.
- A more accurate measurement of long-term functional nutritional levels.
- Clear test results that allow you and your practitioner to customize a supplement and dietary protocol that is individually specific to you.
