Description of Nutrient Test
The balance of these minerals is crucial for maintaining optimal health. For example, appropriate levels of sodium and potassium can affect blood pressure and the cardiovascular system. The ratio between copper and zinc can affect hormone balance, while the potassium-calcium ratio is important for thyroid function.
Additionally, the magnesium-calcium ratio plays a significant role in cardiovascular health, bone strength, and the prevention of metabolic and inflammatory diseases. By understanding these relationships, we can provide insights to optimize your health in a holistic manner.

How the Test Process Works:
You perform the test from home with a simple blood sample. This is done by using a lancet to draw a small blood sample from your fingertip and then squeezing a drop of blood into a tube. It's important to perform the test on an empty stomach in the morning for best results. Once the sample is taken, it's sent to our laboratory for analysis. You'll then receive your results digitally as soon as the laboratory has analyzed your sample. Shipping to the laboratory is included in the price, making the whole process smooth and hassle-free for you.
