Micronutrient Status
Micronutrients have many key functions in the health of your body and its processes. They enable the body to produce enzymes, hormones, and other substances essential for proper growth, development, and good health. They are vital in the support of a healthy immune system, proper brain development & function, and even act as antioxidants. Virtually all metabolic and developmental processes that take place in the body require micronutrients.
Strong evidence suggests that subtle vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant deficiencies can contribute to degenerative processes such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
Evaluating micronutrient status can therefore be the first step in identifying metabolic inadequacies while shedding light on the possible underlying causes of complex chronic conditions.
Micronutrient testing with EWW provides the most comprehensive nutritional analysis available by measuring functional deficiencies at the cellular level (both extracellular and intracellular). It is an assessment of how well the body utilizes vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, antioxidants, and metabolites.
Testing looks at both your circulating levels in your blood (extracellular micronutrient status) and if the micronutrients are actually getting into the cells to do their jobs (intracellular functionality).
Micronutrient testing provides the basis of a personalized, functional approach to addressing a broad variety of clinical conditions including arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular risk, diabetes, various immunological disorders, metabolic disorders, and micronutrient deficiencies. Sample Report

Why Is It Important To Know Your Status?
Micronutrient is the term used to describe vitamins and minerals essential for the proper functionality of the body. For the most part, vitamins and minerals are not produced by the body and therefore must be obtained through a healthy balanced diet and if needed, supplements.
