What is the purpose of this test?
Genova Diagnostics' NutrEval® test kit is designed to help doctors understand a person's nutritional status and how well their body is absorbing and utilizing nutrients. The test analyzes blood and urine samples to provide a comprehensive overview of a person's nutritional deficiencies, imbalances, and potential toxicities. This information can help healthcare providers create personalized treatment plans to improve overall health and well-being.
Additionally, the NutrEval® test includes a Vitamin D assessment, which is crucial for maintaining strong bones, supporting the immune system, and overall health. The test results can help identify if someone has a deficiency in Vitamin D, which is common in many individuals, especially those who live in areas with limited sunlight exposure. By identifying these deficiencies, healthcare providers can recommend appropriate interventions, such as dietary changes or supplementation, to help optimize Vitamin D levels and support overall health.
