Customized Vitamins

At Radiance Medspa Fairfax, we customize our skincare, and now we bring you customized vitamins through Ideal Health. With a simple at home test, you can have vitamins made exclusively for you and delivered to your door.

Why Customize?

Your body is unique. The bio-nutrients it needs for optimal functional health may be different from those that someone else needs.

That's why ordinary multivitamins don't cut it. Multivitamins from the drugstore, and expensive supplements from nutrition and health food stores alike, can leave you with too much of some nutrients, too little of others, or none at all of other particular nutrients your body needs.

The simple truth is that "one-size-fits-all" multivitamin cannot provide you with optimal nutrition because they are created for a hypothetical "average" person. No such person exists.

On top of that, many ingredients in drug store brand multivitamins are in hard-to-absorb forms, or their ingredients are isolated from their synergistic nutrient partners—facts which can greatly reduce their effectiveness.

Ideal Health's unique Custom Essentials® are a customized formula of the highest quality nutrients chosen for your body's unique needs based on the results of a sophisticated test (the PrivaTest®) that looks at metabolic markers in your urine.

If you are tired, fatigued, have dark circles under your eyes, allergies, digestive issues, or are hormonal, stressed, overweight, or just want to maintain a healthy lifestyle, we have your solution.

Metabolic Testing

The PrivaTest® is an accurate, scientific way to take a snapshot of the most critical metabolic markers in your body's natural waste fluids to determine the status of your nutritional health and your body's natural ability to detoxify itself. A scientific window into your personal biochemistry, the PrivaTest® determines cellular function by measuring markers in three critical areas:

• Urinary Sulfates – A metabolic testing marker for sulfur reserves (needed for your liver's detoxification processes).
  
  
• Urinary Lipid Peroxides – A metabolic testing marker for oxidative stress (determines your general antioxidant status).
  
  
• Urinary Nitrates – A metabolic testing marker for the regulation of nitric oxide (a compound involved in many body systems including your immune system, nervous system and circulatory system).

Research has shown that poor or altered function in these areas may be the root cause of many health challenges. By reading these markers from your personal metabolic test, the PrivaTest® can tell you where you need nutritional support, and how much or little of it you need.

A scientific test designed to put your mind at rest...

Scientists know that a number of complex interrelated factors affect the specific nutrients each person needs. There are common factors like age, gender and weight – variable factors like genetics, diet, exercise, environment, stress levels and emotional reactions – and metabolic factors that change throughout your life and can often disable the built-in body systems that maintain your health.

To ensure that your key metabolic processes are getting the support they need, you need a direct and accurate biochemical evaluation of them.

Traditional nutritional testing measures the nutrients that happen to be in your blood at any given time. But to really know what's going on in your body, you need to know if these nutrients are getting into your cells, and how your cells are using them. One of the best ways to do that is to look at the end products of your metabolism in your urine.

That's exactly what the PrivaTest® is designed to do. It starts with a simple home collection kit which you send to our lab for metabolic testing and analysis via prepaid FedEx package.

Based on the latest in nutritional science...

After analysis at our lab, your metabolic test results are sent to you in your personal PrivaTest® Report, revealing key information about the three critical biochemical pathways described earlier.

The 48 Custom Essentials formulations were developed using a database of over 100,000 participants and over 30,000 scientific nutrition studies from top research institutions. Your Custom Essentials blend is the best nutritional selection for you out of 48 possible combinations of 50 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and whole food concentrates.

If you are tired, fatigued, have dark circles under your eyes, allergies, digestive issues, or are hormonal, stressed, or overweight, there are additional tests that can pinpoint and regulate your interior health. Ask us about what test is right for you.
