Vitamin D3 Testing

Knowing your Vitamin D3 levels is one of the most important labs one can do. Vitamin D3 deficiency is linked to 19 different cancers. The #1 cancer linked to D3 deficiency in women is breast cancer. Colorectal Cancer is the #1 cancer in men related to D3 deficiency. Having adequate D3 levels is the single most important action one can take to boost immunity. Increased risk of heart disease, dementia osteoporosis and Multiple Sclerosis are linked to vitamin D3 deficiency. Adequate D3 levels are also important for supporting mood, especially in the winter when we can’t make D3.

ZRT has developed and refined Vitamin D testing (both D2 and D3) in dried blood spots. A few drops of blood from a quick and nearly painless nick of the finger are placed on a filter paper to dry. This can be performed easily in the convenience of your home. The dried blood spot sample is then sent to ZRT for analysis. With ZRT’s innovative blood spot test, there is no more wasted time and resources going to a lab for a painful blood draw.

Omega 3’s Fatty Acid Testing

Knowing your fatty acid profile aids you in taking the proper dose of Omega 3’s. Research shows that the majority of American’s are deficient in Omega 3’s, and that deficiency is one of the biggest contributors to heart disease and dementia.

The Holman kit includes an at-home method for obtaining a blood spot sample, which is analyzed by Lipid Technologies using their precision proprietary method for high sensitivity blood-spot omega 3 analysis. This test identifies your complete fatty acid profile, specifically focusing on your omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acid levels. The test helps determine the ratio of inflammatory fats to anti-inflammatory fats. When this ratio is off your risk of disease increases.
