What is the benefit of this specific kit
Building on the CfBS Basic Bloods Draw, this test also includes the nutrients
- Copper
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin
- Selenium
Copper is required for red blood cells and healthy immune and nervous systems. It also helps to form collagen, the most abundant protein in the body and a key part of bones, skin, hair, and connective tissue.
Any bariatric surgery risks the development of deficiencies in the fat-soluble vitamins A & E – needed for eye and skin health, and those who are vegetarian or vegan are at a greater risk of low levels, especially Vitamin A.
Selenium deficiency can build up over time, usually within 1-2 years of surgery. This mineral is essential for both thyroid and immune functions, and any depletion in levels can lead to muscle weakness, loss of muscle mass, fatigue, lethargy, and shortness of breath.
