Description

Intracellular micronutrient testing (also known as: micronutrient testing, essential metabolic analysis, leukocyte nutrient analysis, functional micronutrient analysis) is a novel lab panel that measures the intracellular level of multiple nutrients. Micronutrients measured by this test include but are not limited to the following:

• Vitamins- A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C, D, K, E
• Biotin, Folate, Pantothenate,
• Minerals- Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Zinc, Copper
• Amino Acids, Asparagine, Glutamine, Serine
• Fatty acids, Oleic Acid
• Antioxidants -Alpha Lipoic Acid, Coenzyme Q10, Cysteine, Glutathione, Selenium
• Carbohydrate Metabolism- Chromium, Fructose Sensitivity, Glucose-Insulin Metabolism
• Metabolites- Choline, Inositol. Carnitine
• Total antioxidant function and immune Response Score (offered by SpectrCell Laboratories)

Criteria

Intracellular micronutrient testing panel is considered experimental/investigational, and therefore, non-covered because the safety and/or effectiveness of this service cannot be established by the available published peer-reviewed literature.
