Introducing Micronutrient Testing, available exclusively from SpectraCell Laboratories, the patented analysis measures levels of selected vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other essential micronutrients within your white blood cells.
After 18 years of research, the patented SpectraCell Micronutrient Testing uses your own cells to measure the biochemical intracellular function of selected essential micronutrients. Analysis of the function of these cells under SpectraCell’s patented conditions can reveal a person’s functional nutritional status over a much longer time than conventional serum testing.
The results obtained, therefore, can uncover deficiencies that standard serum tests may miss. If not corrected, such deficiencies could impair your health by contributing to the development or progression of chronic disease. With this information, specific deficiencies that may be negatively influencing your health may be corrected.
Research from several top universities confirms that almost 75% of your life expectancy and health status is based upon your nutrition, lifestyle and environment. Because of our exposure to environmental toxins, our levels of stress and the decreased quality of the vitamins and micronutrients we receive from our foods due to depletion of the soil and other factors, we all require supplementation with vitamins and minerals.
The recommended daily allowances (RDA’s) represent the minimal amount needed to prevent disease. They are not designed for optimal health. It also doesn’t take into account that the amounts of vitamins and other micronutrients needed are different for each person.
There is overwhelming evidence that vitamin deficiencies are associated with disease processes that can affect your overall good health. Many people work hard at improving their health by exercising and eating well, but may still have some vitamin, mineral or antioxidant deficiencies that will affect the function of their immune system.
Research at the University of Texas showed that 50% of people taking vitamin supplements were still deficient! At Dr Shel Wellness & Medical Spa we offer state-of-the-art tests by Spectracell Labs that measures intracellular levels of selected vitamins, and other essential micronutrients. This test reveals a person’s functional nutritional status over a much longer time than conventional serum testing. We can then focus on your nutritional deficiencies and create a tailor-made vitamin and supplement plan to address your specific needs.
Identifying and correcting your specific micronutrient deficiencies will help promote optimal function of your body and help prevent the development or progression of chronic disease.
