How can a TMA determine exact vitamin needs?
Minerals not only work with each other, but in conjunction with vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Minerals act as enzyme activators and vitamins act as coenzymes. Therefore, the lab can evaluate your mineral status, which provides some very good clues to your vitamin requirements. 7. How do I know what supplements to take and why is this important? From our experience, we find people are often taking exactly the opposite of the supplements they need. This is not good for either your body or your pocketbook. 8. Is this test covered by insurance? Only if your coverage includes wellness will the TMA typically be covered. However, almost all insurance companies will pay for a toxic metal screening. They’ll probably pay if you think you have been exposed to mercury vapors — or if someone has been feeding you arsenic!
