Reno, NV (PRWEB) July 18, 2007 -- Smith-Reid Laboratories today announced the launch of the NutriTest? (www.thenutritest.com), a test kit to assess nutrient sufficiency and digestive health. The NutriTest? and associated Customized Multi-Vitamins are now available through licensed health care professionals including doctors, chiropractors, and dietitians across the U.S.
The NutriTest? measures critical areas of metabolism including the need for key vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, as well as digestive health and energy production.
"The report provides valuable data for me to guide my patients' nutritional supplement use and helps eliminate their confusion over which supplements to take," said Dr. Blane Mire, MD, Natchez, Mississippi. "Finally, we now have access to a customized supplement based on a scientific, evidence-based nutritional assessment, so patients of all ages, body types, diets, and activity levels can be more confident they'll get the vitamins and minerals they need to achieve optimal health."
The NutriTestTM urinalysis kit is only available from licensed health care providers. The patient collects a urine sample at home and then calls for a courier to deliver the NutriTest? directly to the laboratory for testing. A few weeks later, an in-depth laboratory test report is delivered to both the patient and their health care professional with a recommendation of a customized formulation of multi-vitamins.
The patient can then discuss the results with their health care professional and can begin a nutritional supplementation plan based on sound, scientific testing. Each Customized Multi-Vitamin formula is based on the patient's NutriTest? results and contains customized amounts of 24 essential vitamins and minerals, antioxidants and key natural ingredients. For convenience, the Customized Multi-Vitamins are shipped directly to the patient's home in three-month supplies.
"Every day, thousands of patients ask their health care professionals for guidance on using nutritional supplements," says Ryan Smith, President of Smith-Reid Laboratories. "Professionals offering the NutriTestTM will now have credible, evidence-based data to provide patients with sound medical guidance to improve their nutritional status. The ability to offer customized multi-vitamins to meet their patient's specific insufficiencies will revolutionize the vitamin industry and bring health care practitioners back into the leadership role they deserve."

Antioxidant Function of Vitamin A, C , E-Vitamin
Vitamin C, vitamin E (tocopherols), and some precursors to vitamin A (the carotenoids) exhibit antioxidant activity. Each of these vitamins has independently been shown to alter immunity. The antioxidant function of these vitamins is of interest to some athletes primarily because exercise increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which have been associated with muscular fatigue and muscular damage. In addition, neutrophils and macro phages produce ROS. The ROS produced by the immune system may have a role in modulating postexercise muscle damage.
