Vitamin and Mineral Testing

Overview

Are you taking too many supplements? Not enough? Is your diet nutrient rich enough? Nutritional status is a vital foundation of health and performance. REVITA’s micronutrient testing is an innovative assessment of nutritional status. REVITA’s tests evaluate how an individual’s white blood cells respond to varied environments of over 32 vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants. As a result, individual differences in metabolism, age, genetics, health, prescription drug usage, absorption rate or other factors are taken into consideration.

Standard test results do not measure if the nutrient is properly functioning within the body. REVITA’s exclusive, patented micronutrient tests measure the function of selected vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other essential micronutrients within your white blood cells. Analysis can reveal a person’s functional nutrient status over a much longer time period than conventional serum testing. REVITA’s tests give a more meaningful measurement of nutritional status than all other nutritional testing.

Questions

Why is nutrient status important?

Vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies have been shown to suppress the functions of the immune
system which can contribute to degenerative processes such as arthritis and cancer.

Shouldn’t I be okay if I have a balanced diet, exercise, and take a multivitamin?

Many people work at improving their health, yet some individuals still have deficiencies. Why? Each of the following categories explain different reasons for deficiencies.

Biochemical Individuality
Because each of us is metabolically and biochemically unique, the micronutrient requirements for one person may be quite different than the requirements for another.

Absorption
Although you may eat a balanced diet, if you do not absorb vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and/or other essential micronutrients properly, you will have deficiencies.

Chronic Illness
Health conditions such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, fatigue and multiple sclerosis, to name a few, can be affected, directly or indirectly, by micronutrient deficiencies.

Aging
Our micronutrient requirements at age 30 are quite different from our requirements at age 40, 50 and beyond. Absorption difficulties, especially of vitamin B12, quite commonly occur as we age.

Lifestyle
Excessive physical activity, prescription drugs, smoking, alcohol and sedentary habits all impact micronutrient demands.

REVITA Anti-Aging Center’s micronutrient testing is the only test that takes all the above factors and many others into consideration to identify your nutrient status. With this information, specific deficiencies that could negatively influence your health may be corrected.

How do I get my micronutrient tests?
