Nutrition impacts overall wellbeing.
Nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids play vital roles in energy production, hemoglobin synthesis, maintenance of bone health, immune regulation, and protection against oxidative stress. As nutrients play such important roles in various biological functions, a proper balance in nutrient levels is very crucial. A marginal lack of a particular nutrient could prove detrimental to the body and could lead to health conditions.
For example, a deficiency in B vitamins has been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, immune alterations, and inflammatory conditions which can give rise to age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, cognitive dysfunction, osteoporosis, and methylation disorders. Â Additionally, a Vitamin E deficiency can reduce cognitive functions, which is implicated in brain aging.
Our Nutrient Test Panels assess the extracellular and intracellular levels of nutrients as well as genetic predispositions affecting nutrient levels, revealing the root cause of nutritional deficiencies.
