What is Micronutrient Testing?

“Micronutrients” is a blanket term for all of the positive compounds found in food or supplements that are essential to how the body functions. Some examples of micronutrients include:

  • Vitamins
  • Minerals
  • Antioxidants
  • Amino acids
  • Metabolites

These substances are all found in different foods or supplements. While having a healthy diet is crucial to health and wellbeing, it can still leave you deficient in some micronutrients.

Micronutrient deficiencies may lead to a variety of serious health complications, including:

  • Diabetes
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Arthritis
  • Chronic pain
  • Inflammation

No two people handle micronutrient deficiency in the same way, so it's entirely possible to be suffering without any obvious symptoms. This makes micronutrient testing very important, as it can provide a complete look at the levels of micronutrients present in the body.

How Does Micronutrient Testing Work?

A micronutrient test is a non-invasive, low pain diagnostic technique. During the test, a small sample of blood is taken and analyzed for key vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. Some of the specific substances that may be tested for include:

  • Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 , E, C , D and K
  • Folates
  • Calcium
  • Magnesium
  • Zinc
  • Copper

Certain issues can contribute to a micronutrient deficiency. While not a deficiency themselves, these issues can deprive the body of key nutrients and speed up the process, making a micronutrient test necessary. These issues include:

  • Poor diet
  • Lack of exercise
  • Smoking
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Aging
  • Chronic disease

Additionally, there is some variance among people when it comes to micronutrients. What one person may be naturally deficient in, another may be naturally over-productive.
