Micronutrient Panel
At Iowa IV, we’re committed to helping you feel better—not just in the moment, but for the long term. That’s why we’ve added the Micronutrient Panel to our service offerings. This advanced lab test allows us to measure your body’s nutrient levels at a cellular level, so we can track how your body responds to IV vitamin therapy and hydration over time. By testing before you begin treatment and again after a series of visits, we can now quantify your progress and personalize your care. While the test is an investment, we believe that high-quality, accurate information about your health is one of the most valuable tools to your 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

- CoQ10, Glutathione, MMA, Choline, Carnitine
- Electrolytes: Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium
- Minerals: Iron, Zinc, Copper, Selenium, Manganese
