Going back to the title of the blog - Test - Don't guess

It would be good to test for the need for supplements before taking them

  1. If you are taking supplements you don't need, you are wasting your money

  2. If you are taking supplements you don't need, you can disrupt other nutrients and cause deficiencies you didn't have before

  3. With testing, you establish exactly what your need for specific supplementation is or isn't

Your health starts with your cells

All of your body's functions are within your cells and require micronutrients. If minor deficiencies are present, this can eventually lead to chronic disease - diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and other diseases.

It is better to test instead of guessing when it comes to taking supplements.

Interested in learning more about finding out how micronutrient testing can help you - Let's schedule a time to talk on the phone.
