Are you getting enough of the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients for optimum health? You may assume you are getting the right nutrients if you eat a healthy diet or take oral supplements, but that is not always true. Many factors can impact the level of nutrients absorbed and used by the body. The only way to know for sure is to undergo lab testing to determine the level of vitamins and other nutrients in the body. Our team at NexGen Health offers medical-grade vitamin deficiency testing at our facility in San Jose, CA, as part of our treatment services.

All the vitamins and nutrients that you ingest must be absorbed in the digestive system. Some vitamins are fat-soluble, requiring fat to assimilate them into the body. Water-soluble vitamins and minerals may not need fat, but they still can be limited in absorption due to other factors. Certain health conditions can impact the stomach and intestines, creating poor nutrient absorption. Other factors that can contribute to nutrient levels in the body include:

• Exercise and athletic training
• Stress and anxiety
• Injury, illness, or surgery recovery
• Genetics
• Alcohol, tobacco, or drug use
• Nutritional variety

Many people are surprised to learn they have a nutritional deficiency. Plus, even when nutrients are within the “normal” ranges, they may not be high enough to achieve optimum health based on your genetics and lifestyle.

Biomarker Testing: A Deeper Insight into Your Health

In addition to vitamin deficiency testing, biomarker testing provides crucial information about your overall health. Biomarkers are measurable indicators of your biological state or condition. They can include proteins, hormones, or other molecules found in blood, tissues, or other bodily fluids. Biomarker testing helps identify the presence of diseases, monitor disease progression, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.

How Biomarker Testing Enhances Nutrient Analysis

Combining biomarker testing with vitamin deficiency testing offers a comprehensive view of your health. While vitamin deficiency testing focuses on the levels of specific nutrients, biomarker testing can reveal underlying issues that affect nutrient absorption and overall health. For instance, inflammation markers can indicate chronic conditions that might hinder nutrient absorption, while hormone levels can provide insights into metabolic processes affecting nutrient utilization.

Benefits of Medical Grade Nutrient and Biomarker Testing

Our medical team at NexGen Health customizes our IV drip therapies and other health services for each individual patient. Medical-grade nutrient and biomarker testing can give us a baseline of where you are in achieving optimum health. We also use vitamin, mineral, and amino acid testing to monitor your nutrient levels as you begin IV therapy and use oral supplements. In many cases, low levels of certain nutrients and abnormal biomarkers can help diagnose health issues and identify the best treatment plan to improve health and wellness.

Personalized Health Plans Based on Testing Results

With detailed results from both vitamin deficiency and biomarker testing, we can develop personalized health plans tailored to your specific needs. This might include:

• Customized IV Drip Therapies: Formulated to address identified nutrient deficiencies and support overall wellness.
• Targeted Supplement Regimens: Based on your nutrient levels and biomarker indicators.
• Dietary and Lifestyle Recommendations: Designed to optimize nutrient absorption and improve health outcomes.
• Ongoing Monitoring: Regular follow-ups to track progress and adjust treatments as needed.

The Role of Biomarkers in Chronic Disease Management

Biomarker testing is particularly valuable in managing chronic diseases. For example, biomarkers can track the effectiveness of treatments for conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune disorders. By monitoring these biomarkers, we can make informed decisions about treatment adjustments and ensure you are on the right path to better health.
