Foundation Profile

Research on the effects of nutrient deficiencies shows that they may contribute to various health problems, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, deficits in brain function, some cancers, and osteoporosis. However, mainstream medicine does not typically test for vitamin, mineral, and other nutrient deficiencies.

The Riordan Clinic Foundation Lab Profile is a beneficial tool for investigating nutrient levels in your body. It provides you with a baseline of how you are doing today so you can work toward optimal health tomorrow. The Foundation Lab Profile assesses numerous vitamins, minerals, hormones, and inflammation markers. Your results enable you to make informed decisions about lifestyle, diet, and supplements based on your individual needs.
