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