Cellular Nutrition Assay

Cellular testing for nutrient sufficiency, antioxidant capacity, and specific protective antioxidants

Metabolism happens within cells. Cells need nutrients to be metabolically active.

• The Cellular Micronutrient Assay (CMA) is your tool to assess and address insufficiencies in micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) as well as amino acids, and other nutrients within immune cells. This is a reflection of long-term nutrient status not just a “snapshot” as is seen in serum nutrient tests.

An overload and accumulation of free radicals (from pollution, toxins, medication, radiation, etc) in the body can result in oxidative damage which plays a major role in the development of chronic and degenerative illness. Antioxidants can help protect the cells from oxidative damage.

• The Redox Assay measures the overall antioxidant function of your patients’ immune cells.
• The Antioxidant Protection Assay (APA) identifies specific antioxidants that significantly improve your patients’ antioxidant capacity and protect their cells from oxidative damage.

 Nutrient requirements are unique to each patient

• Women’s health- fertility, pregnancy, lactation, perimenopause, menopause, and others
• High performance and/or severe stress
• Sports nutrition
• Pre and post -surgery
• Weight management, obesity
• Burnout, fatigue, depression, mood swings, low vitality
• Chronic conditions, and/or metabolic syndrome (increased blood pressure and blood sugar, excess body fat, abnormal cholesterol)
• Nutritional and health status optimization

 Test results

Easy to understand, color-coded test results show “nutrient sufficiency,” “borderline insufficiency,” and “insufficiency”. The function and dietary sources of each insufficient and borderline insufficient nutrient are described within the test results’ commentaries.

How it works: X Factor Labs Test protocol

According to the test you order, a test specific test kit will be sent to you with instructions. Some tests require blood draws, which can be done locally at a qualified clinic or blood station. Some of the genetic tests require a simple cheek swab or buccal smear which can be done at home.
