Nutritional Microscopy
Live and Dry Blood Analysis (LDBA) involves taking a drop of blood and interpreting the information it gives us about the body. This can then be used to guide us towards optimum health.
During ‘Live’ blood analysis (Nutritional Microscopy) a drop of fresh capillary blood is viewed in its live state (not oxidised, preserved, treated or stained with chemicals) under a microscope. It is magnified 1000x in order to view the condition of the blood cells and the plasma and reveal any other contents of the blood that can be signs of imbalance.
‘Dry’ blood analysis (also known as the Oxidative Stress Test or Dried Blood Layer Analysis) is when a drop of blood is left to clot and dry on a slide, leaving patterns that are indicative of various imbalances such as metal toxicity or vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
LDBA can identify specific nutrients that may be lacking, give indications of stress in certain organs, and assess levels of inflammation, oxidation or toxicity. It can also help determine digestive capacity and health of the microbiome, as well as indicate the general state of health in the tissues of the body (known as the ‘internal terrain’).
