Available exclusively from SpectraCell Laboratories the Patented FIA™. Analysis measures levels of selected vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other essential micronutrients within your white blood cells (lymphocytes).
Current standard serum micronutrient test reflect a person's diet over a relatively narrow window of time. The results can be biased by many factors, especially by food eaten during the few days preceding the test, allowing potential long-term deficiencies to be missed.
But now after 18 years of research, the patented SpectraCell FIA™ uses your own cells (resting lymphocytes) to measure the biochemical intracellular function of selected essential micronutrients. Analysis of the function of these cells under SpectraCell's patented conditions can reveal a person's functional nutritional status over a much longer time than conventional serum testing.
The results obtained, therefore can uncover deficiencies that standard serum test may miss. If not corrected, such deficiencies could impair your health by contributing to the development or progression of chronic disease.
By identifying and correcting functional micronutrients deficiencies, you are taking an important step toward long-term maintenance of optimal health.
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.
Research shows that 50 percent of people taking supplements remain deficient!
Clinical Applications
Identifying the right patient is simple. Measuring and correcting vitamin deficiencies are essential for all patients who are concerned with maintaining wellness. The FIA' accurately identifies those deficiencies that can directly or indirectly affect health conditions. Diagnosing and treating nutritional risk factors can contribute to the arrest or prevention of many denigration disease conditions.
While the FIA' diagnostic profiles offer a window to the cell that can provide improved healthcare for all patients, the potential for clinical benefit is particularly evident in these patients groups.
PROACTIVE RISK ASSESSMENT ....to provide customized prevention by early detection and repletion of nutritional deficiencies for proactive patients.
FAMILY HISTORY .....to provide chronic disease prevention measures to patients with family history of common chronic disease conditions (cardiovascular disease Alzheimer's arthritis, and cancer).
HIGH RISK GROUPS ....including elderly and aging patients, those with diabetics, HIV / AIDS or other immune disorders who, due to age, disease conditions, frequent hospitalization, or prescription medications, may be more susceptible to vitamin, minalral and antioxidant deficiencies that can adversely affect treatment outcomes and overall health.
CHALLENGING CASES to gain insight into generalized complaints with no readily apparent disease diagnosis, and to provide effective treatment options based on biochemical individuality. |
