Saliva assessments have recently become popular as a better way to assess our needs as it is believed they are a better indicator of long term nutritional needs than blood tests.  This is partially due to the fact that the nutrition level in the blood varies rapidly depending on what one eats or takes.  There are some exceptions of course to this rule, especially regarding the testing of Iron and VItamin D both of which can be performed accurately using blood tests.

After paying for this assessment, we will mail you a saliva collection tube along with a diet journal form and a form to fill out what supplements and dosages you are taking.  It is critical for the interpretation of the test to have this information, therefore we will not run these tests if all the information is not filled out.

NOTE: This is not a conventional lab test and there are no codes to bill insurance with.
