FuadFit provides Micronutrient Testing as an add-on service to the nutrition packages.

The Vibrant America Micronutrients Test is used to identify any key nutrients that you are low or deficient in. Then, through nutrition counseling Fuad will help you interpret the lab results create an individualized plan to target areas of need.

 
 

Micronutrients, as opposed to macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fat)…

 

are comprised of vitamins and minerals which are required in small quantities to ensure normal metabolism, growth and physical well-being.


No single food contains all of the vitamins and minerals we need and, therefore, a balance and varied diet is necessary for an adequate intake of all micronutrients. Even if you eat a reasonably healthy diet and take supplements daily, you are still likely to be deficient in at least one vitamin, mineral, antioxidant or other micronutrient. Many people are deficient in several.

Because you eat a healthy diet doesn’t ensure that the nutrients get to where they need to be in your body in the active form and in the ideal amounts.

In addition, we each have unique requirements — based on our genetics, our absorption capability and metabolism. And our needs change over time according to our health (and disease), prescriptions and aging.

Nutritional balance plays a key role in optimal wellness, chronic disease prevention and aging.

Aside from the nutrients we are able to manufacture, we get nutrients from the foods we eat and from the supplements we take. But how do you know if you are taking the right supplements? Are you taking too many or too little?

It’s important for your health to make wise nutritional choices based on scientific facts and not just educated guesses.

Typically, the lab work you get in the doctor’s office checks the levels in red blood cells or serum/plasma. But just because the nutrients are in your bloodstream doesn’t mean they are making their way in an active/usable form into your tissues. 

Vibrant America Micronutrient Testing measures active nutrient levels in your body that are ready to use. It is a highly advanced and accurate way to measure nutritional deficiencies.

The body has amazing capacities to cope. Early symptoms or disease often don’t appear until there’s already a nutritional deficiency. What’s going on can be subtle, for example, vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies have been shown to affect the function of your immune system which then in turn can contribute to degenerative and chronic conditions.
