Vitamin deficiencies and imbalances are checked with every exam. Often the addition of raw fruits will complete an overall deficiency because raw fruits (not processed, dried, bottled, canned or frozen) contain live enzymes and alkalize the body. Other times, the body is deficient in just one or two very specific vitamins. When this happens, I muscle test which vitamins the body needs and then test deeper to find if the body can complete the deficiency with foods alone, or–if the deficiency is too great–the addition of specific vitamins.
Here is the list of vitamins I use for testing:
- Beta-carotene
- Bioflavonoids
- Biotin (Vitamin H)
- Choline
- CoQ-10
- EFA’s (Essential Fatty Acids)
- Folic Acid (Vitamins B-9)
- Hesperidin
- Inositol
- PABA (Para-aminobenzoic Acid)
- Rutin
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B Complex
- Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine)
- Vitamin B-2 (Riboflavin)
- Vitamin B-3 Niacin, Niacinamide
- Vitamin B–5 (Pantothenic Acid, Pantethine)
- Vitamin B–6 (Pyridoxine)
- Vitamin B-9 (Folic Acid)
- Vitamin B-12 (Cobalamin)
- Vitamin B-15 (Pangamic Acid)
- Vitamin B-17 (Leatrile or Amygdalin)
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin E (Don’t use the cheap stuff- it’s basically motor oil in a capsule. Use mixed tocophorols or DL Tochophorols–not DL alpha)
- Vitamin F (Unsaturated Fats)
- Vitamin G (Nutritional Yeast, Sprouts, and Brain)
- Vitamin J (Oxygen capacity)
- Vitamin K
- Vitamin P (Rutin-for blood vessels)
