Micronutrient Panel
At Iowa IV, we’re dedicated to helping you feel your best—today and over time. Our new Micronutrient Panel measures your body’s nutrient levels at a cellular level, giving us precise insights into how you respond to IV vitamin therapy and hydration. By testing before and after treatment, we can track your progress and tailor your care for lasting results. It’s an investment in insight, because understanding your body is the first step to lasting wellness.
Discover What Your Body’s MissingAt the Cellular Level
The Micronutrient Panel is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates both extra- and intracellular levels of essential nutrients — including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, fatty acids, and metabolic cofactors. These nutrients may be present in only small amounts, but they play a big role in your health, energy, and immune function.
Unlike standard lab tests that only measure what’s circulating in your blood at a single moment, this panel goes deeper — assessing what’s actually absorbed and retained inside your cells, where nutrients do their real work.
Why Is This Important?
Your body’s nutrient status directly affects your ability to function, heal, and defend against disease. Even subtle deficiencies can lead to fatigue, brain fog, mood issues, and chronic illness over time.
By measuring nutrient levels inside white and red blood cells (WBCs & RBCs) — not just in serum — the Micronutrient Panel gives a clearer picture of long-term nutritional status and cellular function over the past 4 months.
This test helps identify
- Functional deficiencies or overload
- Impaired nutrient absorption or transport
- Early warning signs of chronic disease risk
Who Should Consider This Test?
This panel is ideal for patients with:
- Chronic fatigue, brain fog, or low energy
- Stress, depression, or anxiety
- Diabetes or insulin resistance
- Digestive issues like IBS, Crohn’s, or Celiac
- Skin conditions, tingling, or numbness
- Autoimmune disorders
- Cardiovascular disease or inflammation
- Aging-related concerns or general wellness optimization
What’s Included?
This test assesses a wide range of nutrients critical to your body’s systems:
- Extracellular (Serum):
- Vitamins A, B-complex, C, D3, E, K1, K2, Folate
- CoQ10, Glutathione, MMA, Choline, Carnitine
- Electrolytes: Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium
- Minerals: Iron, Zinc, Copper, Selenium, Manganese
- Amino acids and fatty acid markers
- Intracellular (WBC):
- Same nutrients as above, measured inside white blood cells for long-term status
- Red Blood Cell (RBC):
- RBC Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids
- Copper/Zinc ratio
- AA/EPA ratio (a key inflammation marker)
- RBC Magnesium, Folate, and other critical markers
