Clinical Assessment
Identifying nutrient needs
Your provider reviews your symptoms, health history, medications, and current supplements. Laboratory testing may be recommended to investigate suspected deficiencies and help determine whether treatment is needed.
Considering underlying causes
When a deficiency is identified, evaluation may also consider contributing factors such as digestive conditions, medication effects, restricted dietary intake, or changes in nutritional requirements.
Targeted Treatment
Oral supplementation
Specific vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients may be recommended to address identified needs. Your provider determines the formulation, dose, and duration, with attention to potential medication interactions.
Intravenous nutrient therapy
For appropriate patients, intravenous nutrients may be considered based on the clinical indication and suitability of oral treatment. Your provider will explain the expected benefits, limitations, and potential risks.
Monitoring your response
Follow-up may include symptom review and repeat testing to assess your response and adjust treatment. Recommendations are coordinated with your broader medical care.
