Скачать или смотреть Micronutrient Panels Are a Waste (Here’s Why)

Today’s pearl: broad “vitamin/mineral panels” (serum/plasma/intracellular) aren’t clinically useful.

1. Micronutrient circulation and storage in the body is incredibly complex. Tissue status often doesn’t match serum or mononuclear cell levels.

2. Illness skews results: Inflammation lowers iron, selenium, zinc, vitamins A/D and raises copper; intracellular magnesium can rise during illness.

3. No validation: Methods/ranges differ by lab; major payors label them investigational (no clinical utility).

Bottom line: they create false hope/worry and drive inappropriate interventions. Use targeted tests with proven validity, not catch-all panels. Learn what to run (and what to skip) in our Advanced Mentorship → metabolicfitnesspro.com.
