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.
