How long should I wait after IV nutrient therapy before doing Vibrant's Micronutrient test?

Depends on what you hope to learn from Vibrant's Micronutrient test. If the goal is to assess the effectiveness of IV nutrient therapy on serum levels, test within 7 days after IV nutrient therapy. If the goal is to assess the effectiveness of IV nutrient therapy on white blood cell (WBC) cellular update, wait 2-4 weeks after IV nutrient therapy to rest. If the goal is to assess patient's return to "baseline," wait at least 4 weeks after IV nutrient therapy to test. If the goal is to assess the effectiveness of IV nutrient therapy on red blood cell (RBC) cellular update, wait 3-4 months after IV nutrient therapy to test. Serum levels represent up to 7 days nutrient status. WBCs live 3-4 weeks, so WBC levels represent the past 3-4 weeks nutrient status. RBCs live 3-4 months, so RBC levels represent the past 3-4 months nutrient status.
