Micronutrient analysis testing determines the levels of vitamins and minerals (such as zinc, copper, magnesium, etc.) in your body. Vitamins and minerals are vitally important for healthy:

• Metabolism
• Detoxification
• Digestion
• Energy levels
• Immune function
• Brain function
• The vitality of early every organ in the body (heart, brain, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc)

If you’re running a little low on required daily vitamins and minerals, your body will likely let you know. Many of the foods available today at grocery and in restaurants have fewer nutrients than they did in the past, so it can be difficult to get everything your body needs from eating alone even if you adhered to a “perfect” diet. Our programs focus on nutritional balance vs perfection.
