The Micronutrient Panel provides the most complete and accurate picture of a patient’s micronutrient status and both short and long-term nutritional status over the previous four months prior to testing. It is a blood test that measures the intra- and extracellular nutrient status of vitamins, minerals, co-factors, amino acids, and essential fatty acids to uncover nutrient deficiencies. This test helps to identify functional insufficiency, deficiency, overload, or toxicity in extracellular and intracellular micronutrient levels and helps identify impaired micronutrient absorption or cellular transport or uptake, which can cause or increase the risk of chronic diseases.
