The Integra Nutritionals® nutrigenomic approach is much less reliant on traditional disease-based markers and much more focused on nutrient-based and metabolic markers. For this reason, the tests selected here provide valuable information to assist the clinician in monitoring the status of relevant key markers.
The tests are convenient for both the clinician and the patient who may self-collect the sample if the consultation is not face-to-face. With their rapid turnaround time from sampling to results, the blood spot tests are an ideal way for a clinician to measure a patient’s response to treatment.
What are the benefits?
We have chosen tests which give very good representation of your patient’s diet and lifestyle over a period of time and are ideal to test before, during and following treatment.
• Enhanced patient monitoring
• Ability to incorporate test reviews into appointment schedule
• Better patient compliance
• Enable individualised treatment
Optimal vitamin D status is a good indicator of overall health and wellbeing. Those who do not respond well to vitamin D supplementation may see increased absorption when their gut health improves and when the Vitamin D receptors (VDR) are activated. Many people carry VDR SNPs which typically respond well to sulforaphane’s Nrf2 activation.
The Vitamin D Plus Test provides a comprehensive assessment of your Vitamin D status by measuring total Vitamin D levels (25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3) in the blood, as well as ratio of 25(OH)D3 to 24,25(OH)2D3. This ratio reveals how effectively your body absorbs and utilises Vitamin D, offering insights into your Vitamin D metabolism. This test reflects your Vitamin D status over the past 1-2 months.
