A micronutrient analysis is especially useful if you want to ensure that your body receives all necessary nutrients in optimal amounts and bioavailability. The analysis helps identify potential deficiencies and meet daily needs individually. The following groups can particularly benefit from a preventive micronutrient and microbiome analysis:

• Vegetarians and Vegans: Plant-based diets can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, iron, and especially omega-3 fatty acids, which are more commonly found in animal products. Folate, crucial for cell division and blood formation, is also often a concern in plant-based diets.
• Pregnant and Nursing Women: During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the need for essential nutrients such as folate, which is crucial for the development of the baby, as well as vitamin K and iron, which support the health of both mother and child, increases.
• Athletes: Athletes have an increased need for micronutrients such as magnesium, which is crucial for muscle and nerve function, and zinc, which supports recovery. Coenzyme Q10, which aids in cellular energy production, is also particularly important.
• Older Adults: With age, the ability to absorb nutrients decreases, increasing the risk of deficiencies in vitamin D, which is essential for bone health, and omega-3 fatty acids. A micronutrient analysis can help maintain the health of bones, the heart, and the immune system.
• People with Chronic Stress or High Workload: Persistent stress can increase the need for nutrients such as magnesium, which aids in relaxation, and zinc, which supports the immune system. A preventive analysis is useful to optimally support the body during stressful periods.
• Individuals with a Family History of Certain Diseases: Those at increased risk for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, or osteoporosis can take preventive measures through targeted intake of micronutrients. For example, omega-3 fatty acids can support heart health, while vitamin K can aid in maintaining bone health.
