Rachel had chronic fatigue and consistent headaches amongst other symptoms. She had been supplementing blindly, trying to support her energy production, some of which were helping but it was difficult to tell what she needed or where she might have been over supplementing.

Her At-Home Whole Blood Nutrient Profile identified some key deficiencies for her. Her Nutritionist was able to tailor her recommendations and supplement protocol according to the nutrients she needed to support her energy and metabolism.

Key findings (excerpt from test):

• Vitamin B1 thiamine deficiency and vitamin B5 deficiency, both key factors in energy metabolism
• Low levels of some amino acids which play an important role in energy production and health
• Sub-optimal vitamin D levels, important for immune function and repair
• Low level of CoQ10 which is an antioxidant and essential for mitochondrial health and energy production
