Nutritional Status & Deficiencies
Even with a "healthy" diet, 92% of people have at least one nutrient deficiency. Our comprehensive nutritional panel identifies exactly what your body needs, enabling targeted supplementation that transforms your energy, immunity, and overall health.
Why This Matters
Optimal nutrition is the foundation of health. Studies show correcting deficiencies can improve energy by 50%, enhance immune function by 40%, and support healthy aging. Personalized supplementation based on your levels ensures maximum benefit.

Calcium
Calcium is fundamental for bone health, muscle function, and nerve transmission, with levels tightly regulated by parathyroid hormones.
Optimal Range:
9.5-10.5 mg/dL; optimal 9.8-10.2 mg/dL for bone and cardiova...
Calcium Oxalate Crystals
Calcium oxalate crystals indicate the most common kidney stone risk, requiring specific dietary interventions.
Optimal Range:
None to rare; presence indicates oxalate stone risk
Carbon Dioxide
CO2 levels reflect acid-base balance and respiratory function, essential for cellular metabolism and pH homeostasis.
Optimal Range:
22-28 mEq/L; optimal 24-26 mEq/L for acid-base balance
Chloride
Chloride maintains fluid balance and enables stomach acid production, essential for digestion and acid-base homeostasis.
Optimal Range:
98-107 mEq/L; optimal 100-105 mEq/L for acid-base balance
Ferritin
Ferritin serves as the body's iron storage system and early indicator of iron status. Optimal levels ensure adequate iron availability for oxygen transport and energy production while preventing iron overload.
Optimal Range:
Male: 20-300 ng/mL; optimal 50-150 ng/mL; Female: 15-200 ng/...
Folate
Folate supports DNA synthesis, cardiovascular health, and optimal methylation. Adequate levels are crucial for pregnancy, mental health, and overall cellular function.
Optimal Range:
>3.0 ng/mL; optimal 8-20 ng/mL
Homocysteine
Homocysteine is an independent cardiovascular and cognitive risk factor that reflects methylation status and B-vitamin adequacy.
Optimal Range:
<7 μmol/L optimal; <10 μmol/L acceptable; >15 μmol/L signifi...
Iron (Serum)
Serum iron reflects the iron currently available for transport and utilization. It must be interpreted alongside other iron markers for accurate assessment of iron status.
Optimal Range:
Male: 65-175 μg/dL; optimal 80-150 μg/dL; Female: 50-170 μg/...
Iron Saturation (%)
Iron saturation provides the most sensitive assessment of iron adequacy and utilization efficiency in the body.
Optimal Range:
20-50%; optimal 25-40% for iron utilization efficiency
Magnesium, RBC
RBC magnesium provides accurate assessment of intracellular magnesium status, crucial for energy production, cardiovascular health, and optimal enzymatic function.
Optimal Range:
4.2-6.8 mg/dL; optimal 5.5-6.5 mg/dL
MCH
MCH measures hemoglobin content per red blood cell, helping assess anemia severity and guide nutritional interventions.
Optimal Range:
27-33 pg; optimal 28-31 pg for adequate hemoglobin content
MCHC
MCHC measures hemoglobin concentration within red blood cells, providing the most specific indicator of iron deficiency.
Optimal Range:
32-36 g/dL; optimal 33-35 g/dL for hemoglobin concentration
MCV
MCV measures red blood cell size, providing critical insights into iron, B12, and folate status for targeted nutritional interventions.
Optimal Range:
82-98 fL; optimal 85-92 fL for adequate B12/folate status
Potassium
Potassium is essential for heart function, muscle contraction, and blood pressure regulation, with deficiency being extremely common.
Optimal Range:
3.5-5.0 mEq/L; optimal 4.0-4.5 mEq/L for cardiovascular heal...
RDW
RDW measures red blood cell size variation, detecting early nutritional deficiencies and mixed deficiency states before other markers change.
Optimal Range:
11.5-14.5%; optimal 12-13% indicating uniform red blood cell...
Sodium
Sodium regulates fluid balance, nerve function, and blood pressure, serving as a key indicator of hydration and electrolyte status.
Optimal Range:
136-145 mEq/L; optimal 138-142 mEq/L for cellular function
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is essential for neurological function, energy production, and DNA synthesis. Deficiency can cause irreversible damage, making early detection and correction critical.
Optimal Range:
300-900 pg/mL; optimal 500-800 pg/mL
Vitamin D, 25-OH (Total)
Total 25(OH)D is the gold standard for assessing vitamin D status, crucial for immune function, bone health, and longevity.
Optimal Range:
30-100 ng/mL (75-250 nmol/L); optimal 40-80 ng/mL for longev...
Vitamin D, 25-OH D2
Vitamin D2 contributes to overall vitamin D status, supporting immune function, bone health, and longevity when part of adequate total vitamin D levels.
