Extracellular micronutrients in your blood reveal what nutrients you've recently consumed. They float freely outside your cells, offering a snapshot of your current nutrient status—largely influenced by your recent diet and supplements. It's a baseline assessment of your nutrition, capturing short-term intake.

Micronutrients within your cells—vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, are vital for cellular health and reflect what's been absorbed and utilized over time. As these nutrients typically remain in your cells for roughly three months, they provide a deeper understanding of your long-term nutritional health.
