What is Cellular Nutrition?
Dietary requirements of minerals and their levels are nearly impossible to establish using routine blood tests. Most electrolytes — calcium, magnesium, potassium — are subject to close homeostatic regulation regardless of dietary intake, while the accuracy of their measurements is compromised by collection, transport, hemolysis, storage, mineral ratios, or processing used.
Similar errors are encountered when trying to establish nutritional requirements through serum or plasma panels for zinc, manganese, phosphorus, chromium, selenium, copper, and most other trace elements.
While a nutrient rich diet may by adequate for the average, healthy individual, it would be inadequate for those suffering from nutrition related chronic diseases.
Myth: If one has a healthy diet, one does not need any supplementation.
Fact: If a large group of people were to follow the exact same dietary lifestyle and exercise program, a certain number would still suffer from high or low blood pressure, blood sugar, or stomach acid, while the rest may develop arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, or mental illness…

Fact: Despite being water-soluble, Vitamin B6 can cause permanent, irreversible nerve damage when used improperly, while an excessive intake of Vitamin C has the potential of eventually causing zinc, copper, or calcium deficiencies in prone individuals…
