Trying diets. Taking supplements. Still not feeling your best? Nutrient insufficiencies can affect how your body functions and how you feel. Discover the nutrient gaps that may be part of your story—and build a more personal plan to support your health.

YOUR BODY IS INDIVIDUAL. YOUR PLAN SHOULD BE, TOO.

You’ve tried more.
Now get more personal.

How many supplements have you bought without knowing which nutrients you actually need? A popular diet or crowded supplement shelf can still leave important gaps. Food intake, absorption, medications, and changing needs all shape your nutritional status.

Vitamin testing can provide a useful baseline for exploring possible nutrient gaps in your body. Rather than relying on symptoms or guessing which supplements to buy, start with a clearer look at your nutrient picture. Use your results to guide a focused food and supplement plan—with nutrient-rich foods and targeted nutritional supplements selected around your individual needs. Addressing the gaps your results reveal can help you unlock your nutrition potential and give your body more of the nutrients it needs to function at its best.

RECOGNIZE YOURSELF IN THESE QUESTIONS?

Could a nutrient gap
be part of your story?

Working hard on your weight?

Eating less does not always mean nourishing better. Restrictive diets and smaller portions can leave nutritional gaps. Discover your cellular nutrient priorities and give your weight loss plan a stronger foundation.

Appetite changing? Make every bite count.

Whether you are reducing portions or using GLP-1 medication, a smaller appetite makes nutrient density especially valuable. Build meals around protein, fiber-rich foods, and your individual nutrient needs.

Want to protect your strength?

Muscle depends on more than workouts. Vitamin D supports muscle function, while magnesium helps muscles contract and the body use energy. Low nutrient status can contribute to weakness and fatigue—make strength part of your nutrition conversation.

Feeling out of balance?

Your thyroid relies on nutrients including iodine and selenium. Nutrition belongs alongside hormone assessment when energy, weight, or body composition changes. Explore nutrient priorities without guessing which supplements you need.

Thinking about insulin resistance?

Magnesium supports glucose metabolism. Insulin resistance and increased urinary nutrient losses can occur together, making nutrition a useful part of your broader metabolic assessment.

Looking beyond the scale?

Your heart, muscles, and metabolism all depend on nourishing food. Connect your nutrient findings with a heart-conscious eating pattern and a plan built around your long-term health.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

A clearer starting point.

What does intracellular micronutrient testing assess?

The Cell Science Systems Cellular Micronutrient Assay evaluates how your cells respond to 55 nutrients and related compounds. Your Blossom Natural Health & Wellness nutrition care team reviews the findings alongside your symptoms and goals.

Where can I learn more about the micronutrient lab test?

This video from Cell Science Systems introduces the broader Cellular Nutrition Assay, including its micronutrient testing component.

What’s included. Blossom Natural Health & Wellness offers the Cellular Micronutrient Assay, which evaluates 55 micronutrient biomarkers. The antioxidant profile is a separate component of the broader Cellular Nutrition Assay and is not included in this program.

What’s the difference between extracellular and intracellular micronutrient testing?

Extracellular testing typically measures the level of a nutrient in serum or plasma. Intracellular testing, as used in this assay, measures how your cells respond when individual nutrients are added in the lab. Your nutrition care team can consider those responses alongside your diet, health history, and other lab results.

Could nutrient insufficiencies be at the root of how I feel?

Nutrient insufficiencies can be one factor in how you feel. Your Blossom Natural Health & Wellness nutrition care team reviews your results alongside your symptoms and goals to identify nutrient priorities and build a plan around them.

Is the micronutrient lab test covered by insurance?

The micronutrient lab test offered through Blossom Natural Health & Wellness is self-pay.

How do I get my blood drawn for the micronutrient lab test?

When your kit arrives, use the finder to locate a nearby phlebotomy draw center or a mobile phlebotomist. Call to confirm that they can collect and handle this specialty kit, ask about the separate blood draw fee, and schedule your appointment. Bring the complete kit with you. Pay the draw fee directly to the phlebotomist. Quest Diagnostics and Labcorp cannot be used for this kit.

Blood Draw Locator ↗

For local scheduling, call 503-878-5418 to book with VenaCare NW. Their blood draw fee starts at $25. Confirm the fee when you schedule.

Do I need to fast before the blood draw?

No. You can eat as usual before the test. We recommend avoiding supplements for the four hours before your blood draw. Follow the instructions included with your kit.

How long does it take to get my results?

Allow about 10 business days from the day the lab receives your blood sample. Once your results are available, the Blossom Natural Health & Wellness nutrition team will message you to schedule a virtual results review.

Who reviews my micronutrient lab results?

Your testing package includes a virtual appointment with the Blossom nutrition care team. You’ll discuss your micronutrient findings, symptoms, and health goals so the team can tailor your nutrition support plan.

How can testing help me get more from my supplements and diet?

Your results help the Blossom Natural Health & Wellness nutrition care team prioritize nutrient-rich foods and targeted supplements based on your needs. The team can also review your current routine to identify where changes might be useful.

Do I have to purchase supplements?

Supplement purchases are optional. Blossom Natural Health & Wellness’s Nutrient Repletion Diet Collection is free and helps you find foods that supply the nutrients you want to prioritize. Your team can suggest targeted supplements based on your results and goals.

Can my plan include supplements beyond those suggested by my lab results?

Yes. Your team considers your health goals, preferences, and current supplements alongside your lab results. This helps tailor the plan to your needs and daily routine.

Will I receive medical nutrition therapy based on my results?

Blossom Natural Health & Wellness provides a nutrition support plan focused on food and supplements. This program does not include medical nutrition therapy.
