Combo test

Our micronutrient test shows you which micronutrients your body currently needs more of. This creates the basis for a targeted adjustment of your diet and, if necessary, supplementation

Our micronutrient test is intended for anyone who is concerned that they are insufficiently supplied with micronutrients due to malnutrition. Stress, illness or medication may be responsible for this.

You can find the prices and all information in our online store. Here we will also inform you about current offers.

Nutrients are substances that humans need for their development. In childhood and adolescence, your body needs nutrients for healthy growth. But nutrients are also essential for a healthy life in adulthood.

By nutrients we mean so-called macro- and micronutrients. Macronutrients are fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids are micronutrients.

Our diet has a major influence on our well-being, our mood and our quality of life. If you frequently suffer from the following symptoms, this may indicate an inadequate supply of micronutrients in your body.

There can be many reasons for an inadequate supply of micronutrients. Examples include malnutrition, liver disease, but also inadequate digestion (maldigestion) or absorption of nutrients (malabsorption).

At Medicross, we test you for your micronutrient requirements. This describes the amount required to maintain specific functions in the human organism. Micronutrient requirements differ from person to person and vary depending on age, gender, physical activity, life situation and state of health. Athletes, pregnant women and smokers, for example, have an increased need for minerals and vitamins.

A micronutrient deficiency occurs when the requirement is not met over a long period of time and the body’s own stores are depleted. A slight (marginal) deficiency can lead to biochemical changes in the body with sometimes unspecific symptoms such as tiredness, weakness, concentration problems or headaches. In a very pronounced stage (latent deficiency), important processes and functions in the body are impaired, resulting in a range of health problems. Examples include anemia in the case of iron deficiency or a weakening of the immune system in the case of vitamin C deficiency. Unlike micronutrient requirements, a micronutrient deficiency must be diagnosed by a doctor. We at Medicross determine your individual requirements, but do not test you for a possible micronutrient deficiency.

The requirement can be increased in certain phases of life. For example, during pregnancy, while breastfeeding or in the event of an infection.

A balanced supply of micronutrients is essential for a healthy life, but also for performance in sport. The most important micronutrients include

– amino acids
– Vitamin C, E and beta-carotene
– B vitamins
– iron
– magnesium
– calcium
– Zinc
– sodium
– potassium

An overdose of micronutrients can be harmful to your body in the long term. The additional intake of certain micronutrients can partially reduce or completely block the absorption of other nutrients. If you consume nutrients in high concentrations over a longer period of time, this can lead to certain side effects. These include diarrhea, vomiting and nausea. In the long term, the liver or kidneys can also suffer from an oversupply.

In the following situations, you should pay particular attention to your micronutrient status:

– Unbalanced or unbalanced diet
– Smokers and smokers
– Vegetarian or vegan diet
– A lot of stress
– Advanced age
– Eating disorder
– Alcoholics and alcoholics

Metabolic diseases
– Intestinal disease or malabsorption
– Competitive athletes
– Taking medication

Our micronutrient test aims to determine nutrient requirements and not to diagnose nutrient deficiencies. The test is not intended to diagnose diseases. It therefore does not replace a medical diagnosis or medical treatment by a doctor. If you are suffering from severe pain or discomfort, please consult a doctor immediately.

The results of the micronutrient test should always be seen as guidelines. It shows you whether you have an increased need for certain micronutrients. But not that you are completely lacking these nutrients. It is not a test for deficiency symptoms. If this is your concern, we recommend that you seek medical advice.

You can order our test in our online store and then carry it out from the comfort of your own home. You will be able to understand your lab report without any previous medical knowledge, as we attach great importance to making your analysis easy to understand. As soon as your results are available, you can access them online on your computer, tablet or cell phone. After each order, detailed instructions for the selected test will be sent directly to your e-mail address, explaining step by step how to take the sample for analysis. In general, the sample can be taken discreetly, quickly and easily without the need for medical professionals. The test is not intended to diagnose diseases. If you suffer from severe pain or discomfort, please consult a doctor immediately.

In the case of intolerance, the body is unable to absorb or process certain substances. This leads to a disturbance in the metabolic process. Intolerances are particularly common in the context of food intolerance. In this case, the intestines usually lack the enzymes required to digest the substance.

Allergies and intolerances are two different forms of hypersensitivity reactions of the body to certain substances. Our intolerance test does not test for allergies.

An allergy is an immune-mediated reaction to a specific antigen. This results in the production of specific antibodies (IgE) against the antigen. This leads to an inflammatory reaction in the body. Typical symptoms of an allergy include itching, skin rashes, shortness of breath, dizziness or anaphylactic shock.

An intolerance is a non-immunological reaction to a substance that can be triggered by various mechanisms. One possible cause can be an enzyme deficiency. This means that the body cannot digest certain substances properly. This results in metabolic products that can lead to symptoms in the body. Typical symptoms of intolerance include abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or flatulence.

In short, the difference between an allergy and an intolerance lies in the way a hypersensitivity is triggered. An allergy is an immune-mediated reaction to an antigen, whereas an intolerance is a non-immunological reaction to a substance

With our tests, you can check which foods or substances your body is currently unable to tolerate. This will help you to find a suitable nutritional strategy for you. We get to the bottom of your symptoms and test you for up to 650 possible intolerances.

You can find the prices and all information about our tests in our online store. Here we will also inform you about current offers.

With our intolerance test you can find out whether you suffer from a possible intolerance. Symptoms of an allergy and an intolerance are often similar. This is why intolerances are often confused with allergies. Please note that you will not be tested for allergies in this test. The test is therefore not intended to diagnose illnesses and does not replace a medical diagnosis or medical treatment by a doctor. If you suffer from severe pain or discomfort, please consult a doctor immediately.

You can order our tests quickly and easily in our online store. We will send you the submission form directly afterwards by e-mail. All we need from you is a strand of hair. You send this together with the submission form by post directly to our laboratory. Your strand of hair will be analyzed there and you will receive a detailed result by e-mail.

We currently offer tests for micronutrients and intolerances. Both tests are also available for pets.

Our tests are based on complementary medicine. They determine your nutritional requirements and test you for any intolerances. Blood analyses, on the other hand, examine the presence of certain parameters in the blood (vitamins, minerals, proteins or antibodies) and thus describe the current supply status or the occurrence of an allergic reaction. In contrast to a blood analysis, it is not possible with our method to look at individual values in isolation.

What does complementary medicine mean?

The term complementary medicine covers a range of medical therapies and diagnostic methods that are not part of conventional medicine. They are often used as a supplement to conventional medicine without replacing it.

Complementary and alternative medicine is not always recognized by the scientific community. One of the most common reasons why people turn to complementary medicine is the desire for a holistic diagnosis.  Many now feel the need to combine different medical methods and approaches in order to improve their health and well-being holistically.

Complementary medicine includes, for example, natural healing methods such as herbal medicine, homeopathy and acupuncture, as well as various forms of manual therapy such as chiropractic and osteopathy. Alternative diagnostic methods such as iris diagnostics or kinesiology can also be counted as part of complementary medicine. Although there are many people who benefit from these approaches and see them as a useful addition to conventional medicine, their effectiveness is still often questioned by conventional medicine.dition to conventional medicine, their effectiveness is still often questioned by conventional medicine.
