Micronutrients (vitamins & minerals) are the drivers of everything that happens in your body. Every system is dependent on these resources, and gaps are super common. As an athlete and active adult, your needs are especially high.
The micronutrient test we like to use with our 1:1 clients checks both extracellular and intracelluar micronutrient status.
- Micronutrients that are free floating in your blood and exist outside the cells, determined in serum are called extracellular micronutrients.
These extracellular micronutrients are a static measure of what is in your blood at any given time. These are dependent on your short-term intake of supplements or diet and give a direct assessment of your baseline micronutrient levels.
Extracellular nutrient tests reflect a person’s diet over a relatively narrow time frame.
-
Intracellular micronutrients are the micronutrients absorbed by your circulating white blood cells and red blood cells.
Cellular micronutrient absorption is an important step in maintaining and promoting optimal functioning of all our cells.
It is important to understand that, even though you may be consuming an adequate or healthy diet or supplements, your cellular intake levels of those nutrients may not be sufficient and may still provide risks for deficiencies and the disorders associated with them.
Almost every physiological function in your body requires micronutrients to function optimally. Having adequate levels makes all the difference.
