How can we figure out exactly which nutrients we are low in? Or if you are currently taking supplements, perhaps you are taking too many? By taking SpectraCell’s Micronutrient Test (MNT) which measures 31 specific micronutrients—vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and metabolites—and how they affect cellular function in a person.
What makes the MNT particularly relevant is that it takes into consideration a person’s biochemical individuality when assessing nutritional status. The MNT is performed intracellularly—it is not a static serum measurement—thus taking into account cellular absorption, metabolism and utilization in its nutritional evaluation of cell function, which correlates with tissue health and systemic health. Serum (extracellular) nutrients fluctuate wildly, are only a snapshot and tell you nothing about the functional health of cells. The MNT measures nutrient status, in the context of cellular function, over a period of 4-6 months. No other nutritional test compares.
