Analysis of the vital substances for prevention

Determination of the concentration of micronutrients not only serves to prevent disease, but also to recognise it. Some deviations in the concentration of amino acids, electrolytes, trace elements and vitamins can be diagnosis-indicating and, for example, provide the indication to an autoimmune disease or cancer.

Minerals and amino acids should not be taken preventively as food supplements. You should have a blood analysis performed in advance to determine whether your body has any needs, and what these specific needs are. An oversupply may also cause harm. Persons suffering from cancer, for example, should not take in an excessive about of iron, since tumour cells have a larger amount of iron to use and administration of iron may even promote tumour growth.

Measurement of the vital substances should be a fixed part of annual check-ups.
