Plus: as part of your overall profile you will have information on your nutritional status for the essential minerals calcium, magnesium and zinc; important amino acids and fatty acids. Also included is a check of your glucose/insulin metabolism and your total antioxidant function for added benefit.

• The test will help you to discover if your vitamin status is adequate or whether there is a specific deficiency that you need to do something about.
  
  Remember, vitamin deficiencies, especially sub-clinical deficiencies, often go unnoticed.The good news is that once identified, deficiencies can be corrected and your report will show you precisely what measures to take.

• By having the test you could discover the exact cause of a pre-existing condition. From mild to moderate to putting you at risk for serious illness, vitamin deficiencies are responsible for a wide range of conditions.
  

• You will know precisely which vitamins to pay attention to, giving you a rational approach to dietary changes or choosing which supplements to take/not to take.
  
  Just imagine if you had a vitamin B6 deficiency or a folate deficiency which you were unaware of and you were on the wrong diet or taking the wrong supplements at the time. This could put you at increased risk of serious illness, including heart disease since these vitamins affect homocysteine levels. A vitamin test will help you prevent such mistakes.

• It could save you the trouble and considerable expense of embarking on a course of unnecessary vitamin supplementation as you will know precisely which vitamins to pay attention to.

• The test can also be used to check if any dietary lifestyle changes are having the required effect on your vitamin status.

• The test is proven to help increase wellness. In one study in Houston, a medical center employing the test with appropriate dietary/supplementation changes found that out-patient visits and referrals to specialists were reduced, the amount of blood pressure medications required was cut by 81 %, gastrointestinal medications was also cut by 81 %, and diabetic medications by 68 % with patients exhibiting increased quality of life.
  
  Such is the power of incorporating this vitamin test profile for health and wellness.
