MicroNutrient (MNT)

What is a MicroNutrient Test (MNT)?

The MNT measures levels of selected vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other essential micronutrients inside white blood cells.  It identifies deficiencies and provides intracellular concentrations of the various nutrients tested.

Why is the MNT important?

Micronutrient deficiencies may be a contributing factor in a wide variety of clinical conditions such as:

• Arthiritis
• Cancer
• Cardiovascular risk
• Diabetes
• Various immunological disorders
• Metabolic disorders
• Nutrient deficiencies

Measuring and correcting vitamin deficiencies is essential for patients concerned with wellness and anti-aging.

How will the MNT help?

Unlike serum tests, which measure levels of nutrients that could theoretically enter cells, the MNT measures the actual nutrient content inside the white blood cells.  And, by using white blood cells (that live for up to 4 months), the MNT provides a long-term view of nutrient status compared to serum tests, which just offer a ‘snapshot' in time.  In other words, the MNT gives health providers a fairly good look at how well these nutrients function inside cells over time.
