About Vitamins, Minerals, & Fatty Acids
What does it mean?
The body seeks balance, and any imbalance may indicate excessive utilization of a specific vitamin or mineral, leading to a deficiency.
Why?
Take "Vitamin C" as an example; it serves as a potent antioxidant, combating free-radical toxins in the body. However, during times of heightened emotional, physical, or nutritional stress, or with an influx of free radicals, the body may consume more Vitamin C than usual, leading to an imbalance. In other cases, a deficiency in a specific vitamin or mineral could also contribute to this imbalance.
How?
With our tests, we refer to a cellular deficiency. However, it's essential to be mindful that blood work results may differ, as we focus on cellular health rather than blood testing.
Let me explain: after ingestion, food undergoes a digestion process in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, where enzymes and chemical processes break it down. The vitamins and minerals (nutrients) from the food enter the bloodstream and circulate to nourish the body's cells. Proper hydration and cleansing of cells are crucial for effective nutrient absorption. If there are issues in hydration, cleansing, or digestion, nutrients might remain in the bloodstream, leading to a potential overabundance in the blood but a deficiency in the cells.
While our test is valuable, we recommend comparing its results with a blood test for a comprehensive view of your health.
