The Cellular Micronutrient Assay (CMA) evaluates long-term nutrient status by testing micronutrients, amino acids, and other essential nutrients within immune cells. This test provides a deeper insight into your nutritional health than standard serum tests. It also includes the Redox Assay for overall antioxidant function and the Antioxidant Protection Assay (APA) to identify specific antioxidants that enhance cell protection against oxidative damage. Results are easy to understand, color-coded, and offer detailed nutrient insights.
Description
Cellular Micronutrient Assay (CMA): Comprehensive Nutrient and Antioxidant Testing
The Cellular Micronutrient Assay (CMA) offers a thorough assessment of your long-term nutrient status by measuring micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), amino acids, and other essential nutrients within immune cells. Unlike serum tests, which provide only a momentary snapshot, the CMA reflects your body’s true nutritional needs and deficiencies.
What’s Included:
- Nutrient Insufficiency Testing: Evaluates levels of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other key nutrients within immune cells.
- Redox Assay: Measures overall antioxidant function to gauge your body’s ability to combat oxidative damage.
- Antioxidant Protection Assay (APA): Identifies specific antioxidants that significantly boost your antioxidant capacity and protect cells from oxidative stress.
Who Can Benefit:
- Women’s Health: Fertility, pregnancy, lactation, perimenopause, menopause.
- High Performance: Sports nutrition and severe stress management.
- General Health: Weight management, burnout, fatigue, chronic conditions, and metabolic syndrome.
- Nutritional Optimization: For improved overall health and vitality.
Test Results:
Results are presented in a color-coded format indicating “nutrient sufficiency,” “borderline insufficiency,” and “insufficiency.” Each result includes detailed commentaries on the function and dietary sources of nutrients that are insufficient or borderline, making it easy to understand and act on the findings.
