Nutrient deficiency can occur for a variety of reasons including inadequate intake and malabsorption, as examples. Deficiencies in one or more nutrients can lead to any number of health concerns and keep you from functioning optimally. Nutrient deficiency testing can help pinpoint specific nutrients you may be lacking and give your clinician more direction when helping you to formulate an appropriate diet. Even more, identifying nutrient deficiencies can be an important step in correcting the consequences of malabsorption and getting you back to a better state of health.
