In the meantime, here's a brief idea of what we're about.
As the name suggests, the focus is on managing and reversing health issues through focus on nutrition. In a world of contradictory information, we are big believers in using diagnostics as an objective way to guide the journey. Nutricentric Healthcare distributes diagnostics throughout the island of Ireland mainly to pharmacies and nutrition professionals.
The range covers food sensitivity diagnostics, Vitamin D (having the appropriate level of Vitamin D isn't achieved by giving everyone the same dose of Vitamin D3 supplements), monitoring of Intraocular Pressure, blood lipids (the 4 “cholesterols”) and HbA1c (to detect pre-diabetes). And of course, we have professional COVID-19 tests for Antigen (e.g. EU COVID-travel cert), IgG antibodies (prior infection) or Neutralizing Antibodies (NAb – to check how the effect of vaccines is holding up). And more.
Where available, we choose tests that are certified by global benchmarking agencies such as DEQAS (for Vit D), NGSP (for HbA1c), WHO (for Neutralizing COVID Antibodies). And we aim to keep it all affordable. If you have questions, please give me a shout at peter@nutricentric.com
This DEQAS-benchmarked fingerprick test is equally quick and gives a quantitative reading of the Vitamin D (as 25-hydroxyvitamin D) level in blood. This allows a tailored calculation of the supplement dose needed to achieve Sufficient levels.
This remarkable pen device gives accurate readings of intraocular pressure (IOP) without having to touch the eyeball. Instead it sends and receives microvibrations through the upper eyelid. This protects the eye and allows more frequent measurements. It also ushers in the possibility to monitor the effect of exercise, alcohol and foods on IOP. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. It’s worth screening for and very much worth managing well.
Another rapid fingerprick test. In this case, one test strip yields the “4 cholesterols” – total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides. New updated version coming early 2022. In the meantime, we also have the simple self-check strip to measure total cholesterol.
EU-certified and approved test for issuing the COVID travel cert. One of the easiest nasal tests to use. Packs of 25 tests. SOPs etc available.
Fingerprick test to check for prior COVID infection. Not everyone who suffers COVID shows measurable IgG, but if you do, you had COVID (or post-vaccination exposure to COVID)
