Join Dr. Krystosik and his guest Dr. Jonathan Stein from Spectracell Lab as they discuss the micronutrient analysis blood test. This state of the art blood test reveals 31 nutrients essential for health and wellness. A recent study at the University of Texas found that 38% of people are deficient in one or more nutrients essential for the prevention and the restoration of health.
 
Interestingly, 43% of people in this same study who were ingesting a multivitamin supplement were deficient in one or more micronutrients. Only 19% of people in this study had adequate levels of the daily requirements for the 31 nutrients tested in this study. That means that a whopping 80% of people in this study had inadequate levels of the 31 micronutrients tested.
 
Unlike traditional serum tests that measure nutrient levels in the blood, the SpectraCell test analyzes micronutrients within your white blood cells. Serum testing gives a snapshot of the nutrient status at the time of the blood draw. The Spectracell test provides a longer-term view of your nutritional status (reflecting the past 4-6 months) and assesses how well your body utilizes these nutrients at a cellular level.
 
The test evaluates the functional performance of 31 vitamins, minerals, amino/fatty acids, antioxidants, and metabolites. This helps identify functional deficiencies that may not be apparent from simple serum level measurements. The Spectracell test results can reveal hidden deficiencies or imbalances that may be contributing to various health issues. This information can be used to develop personalized nutrition plans, including dietary adjustments and targeted supplementation, to address specific needs.
