Good nutrition and diet are vital in the fight to help keep our bodies fit and healthy. What we are is what we eat, so knowing what to eat and what not to eat are essential to a healthy lifestyle. Many of us however lack a healthy diet, are deficient in vitamins and minerals, and have allergies which we may know nothing about! Fortunately we are now able to test for food allergies, mineral deficiencies and Omega imbalances. This helps us to devise with you a diet suitable for your body and to provide you with vitamin, mineral and omega supplements, thus giving you the best chance of staying fit and healthy!
We have a range of tests to help you identify how good nutrition and a healthy diet is vital to a healthy lifestyle, including:
• Food Allergy testing
• Homocysteine level testing
• Vitamim deficiency testing
• Amino Acid deficiency testing
• Mineral and Micronutrient deficiency testing
• Omega and Fish Oil deficiency testing
We are also able to help you with:

We are able to help you identify deficiencies in your diet and provide you with supplements including:
