Micronutrient Panel
Nutrients play a vital role in every physiological process in the body, from metabolism and immune defense to hormone regulation and digestion. Thus, proper nutrition is key to preventing certain diseases and for us to help you live your Epic life. This test will help us do that by identifying potential gaps in your nutrition as well as measuring the potential impact on your health and wellness.
What is the NutrEval® FMV?
This panel helps in diagnosing potential nutritional imbalances and assessing the impact of micronutrients on health and metabolic function. It analyzes over 125 biomarkers and evaluates over 40 antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and other selected nutrients.
When is it recommended?
- Patients suffering symptoms related to nutritional imbalances and deficiencies such as mood disorders, cardiovascular disease, obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, autism, fatigue, weight issues, malnutrition, dietary guidance, maldigestion, malabsorption and increased nutrient demand in physical trauma or healing.
- Patients suffering from uncomfortable symptoms may be deficient in certain essential nutrients. Iron, Vitamin D, B12, calcium, and magnesium are the most common nutrient deficiencies in the United States and can be easily identified with a nutritional test.
