(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 14, 2008 ) Toronto, Ontario – Recent reports show that too many vitamins, taken blindly and without testing can be detrimental to your health. Customized testing allows for customers to know exactly where they need nutrients.
In keeping with their mission of “taking control of your well-being through a preventative approach to your health,” Wellpoint Health Services is now exclusively offering NutriTest™ and Customized Multi-Vitamins in Canada. The NutriTest™ provides Wellpoint clients with a laboratory analysis of nutrient sufficiency and digestive health, allowing it to assess broad areas of metabolic functioning, and offers comprehensive, customized therapies to improve patient’s nutrition and metabolic health.
Taking the NutriTest™ is quick and easy, requiring only one morning urine collection. The test measures 39 key urine metabolites to evaluate critical areas of metabolism including sufficiency of key vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
“The NutriTest™ is a simple and non invasive test helping clients who want to know more about their nutritional needs,” said Dr. Sanjeev Sharma, CEO of Wellpoint Health Services. “We now have access to a customized supplement based on a scientific, nutritional assessment, so patients of all ages, diets, and activity levels can be more confident they’ll get the vitamins and minerals their bodies need to achieve optimal health. Customized testing eases the fear of vitamins becoming toxic – or alternately deficient.”
Each Wellpoint client receives a 12 page NutriTest™ report, which they can discuss with Wellpoint medical staff. The report provides four main scores (sufficiency of: Antioxidants, B Vitamins, Minerals, and Digestive Health) as well as 20 individual measures, including the patient’s relative need for Vitamin C, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, key minerals, and more. Each patient receives a recommended Multi-Vitamin formulation and probiotic formulation, both of which have been customized for them based on their unique NutriTest™ results.
