| Vitamins & Minerals Our standard Food Sensitivity Test includes a panel of vitamins & minerals for any deficiencies to highlight any current deficiencies. It is understood that when the body is undergoing periods of intolerances & sensitivities, this also impacts on the absorption of nutrients from foods, even where these foods may be currently consumed on a regular basis. It is often discovered that any such deficiencies have a direct bearing on the symptoms reported. This screen, therefore, identifies those found to be low and which may contributing to or exacerbating ill-health.
