What does the Micronutrient Testing (MNT) Panel test measure?

Q: What is the reference range for Micronutrient Testing (MNT) Panel?

The standard reference range for Micronutrient Testing (MNT) Panel is Reported as functional sufficiency for each nutrient (sufficient, borderline, deficient); reference intervals are assay-specific and intracellular.. Reference ranges vary by laboratory and assay platform — interpret in context of the issuing laboratory's stated range.

Micronutrient Testing (MNT) Panel (MNT) is a clinical biomarker used in genetic-testing assessment. SpectraCell's micronutrient test evaluates intracellular nutrient sufficiency by stimulating peripheral blood lymphocytes in culture and measuring their functional metabolic performance. It is measured in 1 laboratory test on BiomarkersLabs.com.

Reference Range: Reported as functional sufficiency for each nutrient (sufficient, borderline, deficient); reference intervals are assay-specific and intracellular.
Units: Functional sufficiency classification
Measured In: 1 test
Category: Genetic Testing

Functional medicine optimalEach nutrient is classified as sufficient, borderline, or deficient according to SpectraCell's proprietary functional criteria; no universal 'optimal' range exists across laboratories.

What is Micronutrient Testing (MNT) Panel?

SpectraCell's micronutrient test evaluates intracellular nutrient sufficiency by stimulating peripheral blood lymphocytes in culture and measuring their functional metabolic performance. This approach assesses the bioavailable fraction of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids required for optimal cellular metabolism, rather than static serum or plasma concentrations. The panel typically reports on B vitamins, minerals (magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, selenium), vitamins A, C, D, E, K2, coenzyme Q10, lipoic acid, glutathione, serine, oleic acid, and carnitine.

Why is Micronutrient Testing (MNT) Panel measured?

Functional micronutrient assessment informs repletion strategies when serum levels do not correlate with clinical symptoms or when practitioners are investigating fatigue, impaired immunity, cardiovascular risk, or cognitive function that may reflect hidden insufficiency. The intracellular functional approach aims to identify marginal deficiencies missed by standard plasma assays.
