Spectracell Laboratories Testing measures the function of 35 nutritional components including vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and amino acids that are present within the white blood cells. The analysis of white blood cells provides an accurate picture of any deficiencies within the body. Many studies conclude that micronutrient deficiencies are associated with inflammation and chronic disease which affect both physical and mental health and in general quality of life.
Like a snowflake, no two people have the same micronutrient needs. Each of us has unique biochemical and metabolic makeups. Individuals that lead relatively healthy lifestyles also struggle with deficiencies because of these reasons. Other contributing factors include the way nutrients are absorbed within the body as well as age, exercise, prescription medicine, use of alcohol, smoking and chronic health issues.
Spectracell testing will help accurately determine your supplement usage and eliminate unnecessary ones. Some insurance plans will also discount the testing.
