Micronutrient Testing
Nutrition Works specializes in Micronutrient Testing, which is essential for evaluating your body’s vitamin and mineral levels. Unlike macronutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, and fats, micronutrients are required in smaller amounts but are vital for normal metabolism, growth, and overall physical well-being. Our testing process comprehensively analyzes your micronutrient status, which can help create personalized nutrition plans for optimal health.
Vitamins
These are essential organic nutrients, most of which are not made in the body, or only in insufficient amounts, and usually must be obtained through food. When dietary intake of a vitamin is inadequate, deficiency disorders result. Although vitamins are only present and required in minute quantities, compared to the macronutrients, they are just as vital to health and need to be considered in the context of nutrition quality.
Minerals
These are inorganic nutrients that also play a key role in ensuring health and well‐ being. They include the trace elements copper, iodine, iron, manganese, selenium, and zinc together with the macro elements calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium. As with vitamins, minerals are found in small quantities within the body and they are obtained from a wide variety of foods.
Navigating Your Micronutritional Pathway
Advanced Micronutrient Testing at Nutrition Works
Micronutrients are crucial elements that the body requires in small quantities for optimal metabolism, growth, and physical well-being. These nutrients are distinct from macronutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
Your cellular nutrient absorption can be affected by various factors, including genetics, aging, lifestyle, chronic illness, and medications. However, the intracellular portion of micronutrient testing considers all these factors to identify your cellular nutrient absorption status. With more extended coverage of 4-6 months, this test provides a more comprehensive insight into a person’s functional nutritional status than extracellular testing.
A micronutrient test is the most complete and comprehensive test available for assessing the levels of essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fatty acids, and amino acids. It provides a detailed picture of a person’s nutritional status and is the only test that can identify any deficiencies or imbalances in their diet.
