Your body requires a steady supply of many different minerals in order to function properly and maintain good health. All body functions rely on these minerals. Proper levels of various minerals are required for heart function, enzyme production, nerve and brain activity, and cellular division and growth. Most of our bodies are lacking in one or more of these important life sustaining minerals. This is due to many factors such as aging, improper diet, food processing, depleted soil, pollution and our high stress lifestyles.
Blood tests are invasive, painful, and inadequate.
Urine tests are messy, cumbersome, and inefficient. Hair analysis does not measure current mineral status. None of these tests measure minerals inside the cells. Your doctor collects a sample non-invasively from under your tongue and affixes it to a special slide. The slide is then sent to IntraCellular Diagnostics laboratories for analysis.
