Discover What Your Body’s Missing – From the Inside Out

Why Understanding Your Nutrient Status Matters

You can eat clean, exercise regularly, and take your supplements, yet still feel off.
Fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, or slow recovery aren’t always about lifestyle.
Sometimes, the answer lies deeper inside your cells.

That’s where the Micronutrient Panel comes in.

What Is the Micronutrient Panel?

The Micronutrient Panel is an advanced blood test that measures your body’s nutritional status both inside and outside your cells. While standard lab tests only assess what’s circulating in your bloodstream, this test evaluates how well your cells are actually absorbing and utilizing essential nutrients.

It provides insight into:

• Vitamins and minerals that drive energy, immunity, and cellular repair
• Amino acids and antioxidants that support detoxification and mitochondrial health
• Fatty acids and metabolic markers that influence cardiovascular and brain function
• Intracellular versus extracellular nutrient levels to identify absorption or metabolic issues

With these results, the Iowa IV team designs a personalized nutrition and supplement plan to restore balance, improve performance, and support long-term health.

Key Markers We Measure

Vitamins & Minerals

‍Measures essential vitamins (A, B-complex, C, D, E, K) and minerals such as iron, zinc, magnesium, copper, calcium, and others. Deficiencies can contribute to:

• Low energy and fatigue
• Weak immune response
• Poor bone and tissue health
• Oxidative stress and premature aging

Amino Acids & Antioxidants

‍Evaluates amino acids such as cysteine, glutathione, arginine, and carnitine, along with cellular antioxidants. These nutrients play a critical role in:

• Detoxification pathways
• Mitochondrial energy production
• Cellular protection from oxidative damage

Fatty Acids & Metabolic Markers

Assesses omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, CoQ10, and methylmalonic acid (MMA) to evaluate cardiovascular and metabolic health. Balanced fatty acid ratios are essential for:

• Reducing inflammation
• Supporting cognitive performance
• Optimizing energy metabolism

Intracellular vs. Extracellular Levels

By comparing nutrient levels in serum and white blood cells, this analysis distinguishes between dietary intake and cellular absorption. It helps identify whether deficiencies stem from poor intake, poor absorption, or metabolic dysfunction—insights that are crucial for targeted treatment.

Who Should Consider This Test?

You may benefit from the Micronutrient Panel if you experience any of the following:

Persistent Fatigue or Brain Fog‍

Low energy, irritability, or poor concentration can be linked to hidden deficiencies affecting your neurotransmitters and metabolism.

Feeling Off Despite a Healthy Diet‍

Even with clean eating, nutrient absorption may be compromised. This test reveals whether your cells are actually receiving what they need.

Frequent Illness or Slow Recovery

‍‍If you get sick often or heal slowly, micronutrient imbalances may be weakening your immune response or slowing tissue repair.
