It can be a worry, not knowing whether our wee ones get all the vitamins and minerals that they need.
​
Unfortunately, imbalances can contribute to problems such as hormonal health (even in teens), sleep, mood, food digestion, skin health, bone formation, energy production and antioxidant function/cell health, anaemia to name a few.

WOULD A NUTRITION PROFILE BE USEFUL FOR MY CHILD?
 
Nutrients are essential to your health and well-being. They are the building blocks for every cell, nerve and organ. 
​
Most of the nutrients that the body requires are essential, meaning that your body cannot make them and you need to get them from your diet.
​
WHAT CAN CAUSE A NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY?
 
Processed foods and modern agricultural practices have depleted many nutrients from our food. So even when we eat a mostly whole food diet, we can still end up being depleted of essential nutrients such as Vitamin C or Selenium.
A fussy pallet or a small variety of foods in children and teens is very common.
 
Living in today's modern world has delivered the body an array of new challenges:
Increased stress and anxiety, especially during teenage years
Nutritionally-low convenience foods such as junk foods and energy drinks
A chemical-laden environment
​
Certain dis-eases and conditions make it difficult to eat or absorb enough nutrients for our bodies to function optimally:
Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, Diverticulitis, Coeliac disease
​Autoimmune conditions
Disordered eating - Anorexia nervosa and bulimia 
​
WHAT THE NUTRIENT PROFILE TESTS FOR
 
The Comprehensive Nutrition Profile tests for a full range of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, digestive enzymes, essential fatty acids and specialised nutrients.
​
The nutritional status of an individual depends on a number of factors, the main ones being diet, digestive efficiency and nutrient absorption. This test fully assesses your nutritional status as well as how well your child digest their food.
​
The test report will provide you with a full nutrient profile, including information on its food and environmental sources, possible deficiency signs and possible toxicity signs.
