PURSER WELLNESSWhat is Intracellular Testing?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Intracellular testing, or the CMA Cellular Micronutrient Assay, measures over 100 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants inside your cells—not just in your blood. Unlike serum tests, which show short-term levels, intracellular testing reveals what your cells have been missing over the last 100 days. Low levels can mean weak enzymes, non-functioning proteins, and accelerated aging. By identifying deficiencies and matching them with the correct nutrient forms for your genetics, you can target fatigue, anxiety, depression, and other chronic issues at the root. Get your CMA by calling o

Most doctors run standard serum blood tests, see a "normal" nutrient level, and send you home. But measuring floating nutrients in your liquid serum is like looking at the paint on a house to see if the plumbing works inside. After reviewing over 40,000 advanced intracellular vitamin lab panels, the truth is clear: intracellular glutathione vs serum levels tell two entirely different stories.

A botanical used in traditional preparations; it is not a dietary nutrient.

NR3C1 encodes the glucocorticoid receptor, which helps tissues respond to cortisol and glucocorticoid medicines. Receptor genetics and measured cortisol levels answer different questions.

Separate the gene, variant, measured value and clinical interpretation—and learn which questions to bring to your visit.

ALPL encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme important to bone and tooth mineralization and vitamin B6 metabolism. Persistently low alkaline phosphatase can deserve a different evaluation from a general nutrient deficiency.

F9 encodes coagulation factor IX. Disease-causing variants can result in hemophilia B, an inherited bleeding disorder, but a panel marker is not equivalent to a confirmed disease-causing finding.
