Beaumont Weight Control Center Now Offers MicroNutrient Testing
Date:10/30/2009

HOUSTON, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the current trend toward personalized medicine, the Beaumont Weight Control Center, affiliated with Beaumont Hospitals, a major Detroit-area health system, now offers individualized MicroNutrient Testing for patients. This addition to their weight loss program helps patients identify their specific nutritional deficiencies in 30 different vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, using a patented technology from SpectraCell Laboratories.
