  • Magnesium Deficiency Testing
    Doctors and health experts are keen advocates of complete nutrition and ample food supplement intake.
  • Homocysteine Testing
    Homocysteine is an amino acid that is produced in the body. Although this can be a vital substance in the body, increased homocysteine levels is associated with high cholesterol and build up of materials such as white blood cells
  • Folic Acid Deficiency Test
    Folic acid is an important nutrient coming from the vitamin B class. Folic acid is a key component in developing the RNA and DNA of the cells
  • Citrulline Deficiency
    Citrulline is an amino gamma acid that is critical in the production of urea. The production of urea in turn provides the body with the ability to remove the toxins from the muscle and liver cells
  • Magnesium: Are You Lacking It?
    While magnesium may not sound all that important because it is not a “vitamin” it is more important than you can possibly imagine.Not only does magnesium keep your heart, bones and mind healthy, it also can reduce the effects of autism, help diabetes and limit the affects of anxiety disorders.
  • Keeping Tabs on Homocysteine: Prevention, Testing and Treatment
    Homocysteine is an essential element of the human body. It is actually something called a homologue of cysteine, which is an amino acid. While homocysteine is naturally occurring in the body, in high levels it can be very dangerous to your wellbeing. Elevated homocysteine can occur when the body is deficient on one or more of:
  • Folic Acid Deficiency: Warning Signs You May Be Out of Balance
    Folic acid is an essential component of the human body. Folic acid and folate are water-soluble and are actually a form of vitamin B9. We all get our folic acid from the foods we eat. Or, if your diet is not naturally rich in folate, you can take a supplement to get your levels back in order.
  • Why Elevated Levels of Homocysteine Are Bad For Your Health
    Homocysteine comes from the amino acid cysteine. It is a naturally occurring substance in the body and essential for good health. However, high levels are serious grounds for trouble especially in regards to the heart.
  • All About Manganese: Why Keeping It In Check Is Vital To Your Health
    Manganese is required in the body in order for the enzymes to act as they should. I mean, really, manganese has a hand in just about everything from proper thyroid and adrenal gland activity to mental function. That is why it is so important to maintain a healthy level of manganese at all times.
  • All About Folic Acid: Why You Need Folic Acid and How to Keep It
    Folic acid is essential to the human body. Also known as folate, it is the water soluble form of Vitamin B9. Vitamin B9 is responsible for the production of new cells and replication of DNA. I would say that is a pretty tall order to fill. So when the levels of folic acid are not quite right in the body, you can really tell it.
  • All About Cortisol and What it Does to Our Body?
    Cortisol is a hormone that is essential to proper body function. It is produced by the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland and is one of the primary factors in the body’s stress response. So much so that it is often referred to as the stress hormone because it raises the blood pressure during times of stress.
  • Signs and Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency
    Magnesium is one of the essential components necessary for the body to function normally. It is not just necessary for human; rather, it is essential for all living organisms as magnesium ions are a part of the nucleic acid chemistry of all living cells and things. Because it is so vital, you can imagine what should happen if someone were to be magnesium deficient.
  • Signs and Symptoms of Cushing’s Syndrome
    Cortisol is yet another one of the essential elements of the human body. It is a hormone that helps to regulate blood pressure, the immune system and aids in the process of metabolizing proteins, fats and carbohydrates. However, when the body is inundated with this hormone, problems arise. When cortisol remains in high levels in the body, it begins to affect the tissues of the body, resulting in Cushing’s Syndrome.
  • Signs and Symptoms of Selenium Toxicity
    Like many substances found in the human body, selenium is essential to all living cells as it plays an important role in the production of certain enzymes. In fact, these enzymes are in part responsible for the production of antioxidants, which are known to prevent cancer. However, selenium is also very toxic and if presented in the body in larger quantities than the trace amounts that are normal, complications could develop.
  • Signs of Elevated Manganese Levels
    Manganese is another one of those essential nutrients the body needs in order to function properly. It is present in all living organisms and works alongside enzymes. While it is working down at the microscopic level, manganese has full body effects and is necessary in order for the adrenal glands and thyroid to function as they should.
  • On Both Sides of the Niacin Scale: Signs of Toxicity and Deficiency
    Niacin is an essential part of the human body. Also known as Vitamin B3, it works hard in the process of metabolism and even aids in the process of DNA repair. It is also vital in the area of hormone production, aiding the adrenal glands in this process. Because niacin is so vital to normal body function, it is even more harmful when this substance becomes off kilter. Meaning, when you have too much or too little niacin, problems are sure to arise.
  • How to Prevent, Test & Treat Your Possible Niacin Toxicity & Deficiency
    Niacin is an essential component of the human body and it works by aiding in the process of energy metabolism in all living cells and most importantly works to assist in DNA repair. It even has a role in how certain hormones are produced in the adrenal glands, particularly those involved with the body’s stress response.
