Nutritional deficiencies are one of the most common reasons for ill health today and that’s why we include a nutritional deficiency screening in all our appointments. 

An Asyra nutritional screening lets us know if you have any vitamin or mineral imbalances, and will also show if you are lacking any fatty acids, enzymes or amino acids, all of which are important for good health.

Nutritional deficiencies can cause a variety of symptoms - fatigue, sugar cravings, insomnia, aching joints, weight gain to name just a few! Unfortunately conventional blood tests will not usually look at vitamins & minerals, unless checking for specific diseases such as iron deficiency anaemia, and nutritional deficiencies are one of the simplest causes of ill health to treat.

Depending on the vitamins and minerals that are showing as deficient, we may recommend either dietary changes or supplementation. When supplementation is needed we use only the highest quality supplements, such as Nutrivtial, Biocare and Cytoplan. 

Many people also have one or more enzyme deficiencies, meaning that you are not able to fully digest and absorb your food properly - for more details on enzymes please ask for our free enzyme factsheet. Enzyme deficiency is a leading cause of digestive problems and food sensitivities, but there are supplements that can help to address this issue.

If you are already taking any supplements you are welcome to bring these to your appointment and we will use the Asyra PRO to test whether or not they are effective for you. Not all supplements are made equal and what works for one person may not work for another. With the Asyra we can assess which supplement will do you the most good - so you don't need to waste money trying lots of different things.
