Did you know nutrition is one of the most influential factors in reducing the prevalence of disease?
When the body isn’t receiving adequate nutrients, it can't perform its normal functions properly, leading to various diseases.
And in the long run, subpar nutrition impedes longevity by impacting cellular health.
Unfortunately, treating nutritional deficiencies can be challenging.
It’s easy for nutrient deficiencies to go unnoticed, allowing their effects to accumulate. Plus, generic supplements can’t target individual needs, increasing the risk for over and under-dosing.
Thus, the best way to address and resolve nutrient deficiencies is to first accurately identify them by measuring nutrient levels comprehensively, and then treat the deficiencies accordingly.
In this article, we’ll break down how to utilize precision testing to accurately identify and measure nutrient deficiencies with Vibrant’s new personalized cellular nutrition program: NutriProZ. Plus, learn how nutrition connects to longevity, and where the future of the field is headed.
Addressing Deficiency With NutriProZ
NutriProZ isn't just another supplement. It's a personalized nutrition program that addresses unique individual needs.
We now know that variations in biochemistry, metabolism, genetics, lifestyle, and even gut health can impact nutritional status, making a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition outdated.
By combining intra and extracellular micronutrient and genetic testing with premium personalized nutraceuticals, NutriProZ ensures that every supplement regimen is tailored to individual needs.
The NutriProZ Process: Precision Meets Personalization
Step 1: Lifestyle Assessment
Our innovative process begins with a comprehensive lifestyle assessment. Within the assessment, patients self-report their diet, physical activity, sleep, and medication practices. This provides insights into how these lifestyle factors influence nutritional status and help determine your patients’ specific needs.
Step 2: Intra and Extracellular Micronutrient and Genetic Testing
After the lifestyle assessment, patients undergo intra and extracellular micronutrient and genetic testing to:
- Measure direct levels of 40+ intracellular and 40+ extracellular micronutrients using white and red blood cells
- Measure 50+ genetic variations (SNPs) that determine how the body and cells absorb, transport, convert, and uptake nutrients
After testing, patients receive an interactive personalized report that turns data into actionable insights. The report offers a complete picture of nutritional needs, nutrient status, and personalized recommendations.
Step 4: Personalized Cellular Nutraceuticals
Along with their report, patients receive a three-month supply of precision compound supplements formulated for their precise micronutrient needs and genetic profile.
Step 5: Follow-Up Testing
At the end of three months, patient micronutrient levels are retested to reveal if their needs have changed, including:
- Vitamins
- Minerals
- Co-factors
- Amino acids
- Essential fatty acids
NutriProZ and Longevity: Nourishing Life At the Cellular Level
Nutrition doesn’t just affect how you feel in the short-term—it casts a great influence over one’s entire lifespan. In fact, there’s a strong connection between longevity and optimal nutrient intake, with many studies suggesting nutrition has the potential to increase lifespan.
One factor in this relationship is disease prevention, a major obstacle in the pursuit of health span and longevity.
In 2019, there was an estimated 18.6 million premature deaths due to cardiovascular disease, with a global burden of 523 million cases.
One possible cause? Nutrient deficiency.
Inadequate micronutrient levels have been shown to increase disease risk for diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
Balanced nutrition allows the various mechanisms of the body to function properly, preventing disease.
Additionally, having proper nutrient levels throughout life increases resilience and supports healthy homeostasis as we age.
Micronutrients, the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids crucial for body function, are the building blocks of cellular nutrition.
They play many important roles by acting as antioxidants, coenzymes, cofactors in metabolism, and influencing genetic control. Micronutrients contribute to the normal functions of the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems and protect you from oxidative stress, which means they play a large part in longevity and healthy aging.
By addressing nutrient deficiencies and optimizing cellular micronutrient levels, NutriProZ helps secure the foundations for vibrant longevity.
Personalized Supplements: A Targeted Approach to Wellness
A common obstacle in the world of supplementation is the lack of personalization. For instance, 34% of women and 28% of men in the US take a multivitamin daily. However, a multivitamin cannot target an individual’s specific nutritional needs. This may lead to over or underdosing, which can be dangerous for the body.
Further, due to variation in bioavailability, some patients absorb certain forms of nutrients better than others.
Personalization is key to providing patients with precise levels of the nutrients they need, in the right forms, while maintaining the delicate balance of micronutrients in the body.
NutriProZ’s supplements are crafted based on an individual’s genetic makeup and nutrient bioavailability. This targeted approach ensures each person receives the exact nutrients they need in the right amounts.
Additionally, the NutriProZ program includes a follow-up micronutrient test to track changes and refine the supplement strategy, ensuring that patients receive ongoing, tailored support for their unique health journey.
The Future of Nutrition with NutriProZ
NutriProZ is more than a supplement—it's a commitment to personalized healthcare. By using Vibrant’s advanced lab testing, NutriProZ can target each patient’s nutritional needs, from genetics to lifestyle, to create their perfect supplement.
The future of nutrition is clear. It's personalized, precise, and patient-focused. You can lead this charge by offering NutriProZ, an innovative solution to nutrient balance and paving the way for a future where longevity isn't hoped for—it's planned.
