Recent University research has shown that over 50% of those taking multiple vitamins are still clinically deficient in one or more vitamins. If you have been paying any attention to the media you may have gleaned that most of our population is deficient in Vitamin D and Vitamin B-12.
Nutrient deficiencies have been known to suppress the immune system, and contribute to degenerative diseases, such as arthritis, diabetes, and cancer. Most people are deficient in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and don't even know this!
Standard medical workups do not address optimal nutrition factors. Spectracell labs has perfected clinical, biochemical research to measure the functional aspect of essential micronutrients within white blood cells. These tests then reveal nutrient status over a long time period.
Spectracell's testing also takes into account individual differences in lifestyle, aging, chronic illness factos, absorption issues and biochemical individuality.
This testing assesses vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B-12, Viamin C and Vitamin D, biotin, folate and pantothenate. Minerals: Calcium, magnesium, zinc and copper, Amino acids: Asparagine, glutamine, and serine. Antioxidants: alpha lipoic acid, coenzyme q-10, cysteine, glutathione, selenium, vitamin E, chromium, fructose, glucose/insulin sensitivity, oleinc acid and metabolites choline, inositol and carnitine.
All of this is available for a very low cost!!!!
I am extremely excited about this technology and am awaiting my results. Spectracell and I will be launching this information shortly and I will publish my results in my forum when they become available.
