Description

The Whole Blood Nutrient Profile measures both intracellular and extracellular levels of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. This comprehensive test gives you a detailed picture of how well your body is absorbing, utilizing, and maintaining key nutrients.

Using advanced LC‑MS/MS and ICP‑MS technology, this test helps clinicians and individuals uncover hidden deficiencies or imbalances that may contribute to fatigue, mood changes, immune challenges, metabolic dysfunction, or chronic symptoms.

What You’ll Learn

This profile includes:

  • Vitamins & Minerals (e.g. A, B1–B6, C, D3, E, K1, K2; calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron)
  • Amino Acids & Metabolites (e.g. arginine, glutamine, methylmalonic acid, carnitine)
  • Antioxidants & Cellular Health Markers (e.g. glutathione, CoQ10, selenium)

By seeing both inside-the-cell (intracellular) and outside-the-cell (serum) values, you and your provider gain richer insight into your nutrient status and metabolism.

Why It Matters

  • Detect Hidden Deficiencies – Some nutrient issues don’t show in standard blood tests, but can surface when you look at cellular levels.
  • Optimize Health & Performance – Energy, cognitive function, immunity, and cellular repair all depend on optimal nutrient status.
  • Guide Smarter Interventions – Use the data to fine-tune supplementation, diet, or lifestyle changes rather than guessing.
  • Prevent Long-Term Issues – Early detection of imbalances can help avoid complications linked to nutrient deficiencies.

Who Should Consider This Test

You may benefit from the Whole Blood Nutrient Profile if you experience:

  • Persistent fatigue, low energy, or “not recovering”

  • Digestive problems or malabsorption
  • Frequent infections, slow healing, or skin issues
  • Hormonal imbalances, unexplained weight changes
  • Long-term or restrictive diets
  • Wanting to optimize health proactively
