There are a wide range of laboratory tests that can be used to identify underlying causes of symptoms and health conditions.

Some of these tests include measuring vitamin and mineral deficiencies and hormonal imbalances, others can look at digestive markers to identify whether you are able to digest and absorb nutrients from your food effectively and also measure your levels of beneficial bacteria.

Appropriate tests can help to more quickly identify underlying causes of unpleasant symptoms and to determine the most appropriate recommendations in order for you to manage or improve your health and wellbeing.

All Glenville Nutrition Clinic tests are carried out by accredited scientific laboratories in the UK and the USA. Your nutritionist will interpret the findings of these tests for you and will provide personalised dietary and supplement recommendations based on your results.
