Cellular Nutrition Assay (CNA) - Cell Science Systems

Cellular testing for nutrient sufficiency, antioxidant capacity, and specific protective antioxidants Metabolism happens within cells. Cells need nutrients to be metabolically active. The Cellular Micronutrient Assay (CMA) tests for insufficiencies in micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) as well as amino acids, and other nutrients within immune cells. This is a reflection of long-term nutrient status not just a “snapshot” as is seen in serum nutrient tests. An overload and accumulation of free radicals (from pollution, toxins, medication, radiation, etc) in our bodies can result in oxidative damage which plays a major role in the development of chronic and degenerative illness. Antioxidants can help protect the cells from oxidative damage. The Redox Assay measures the overall antioxidant function of the individual’s immune cells. The Antioxidant Protection Assay (APA) identifies specific antioxidants that significantly improve the individual’s antioxidant capacity and protect the cells from oxidative damage.
