COMPREHENSIVE LAB TESTING

A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) is a test that measures 14 different substances in your blood. It provides important information about your body's chemical balance and metabolism, the process of how the body uses food and energy.

Without accurate lab testing results, your treatment plan will not be as effective as it should be. This is why Integrative Medicine of Idaho provides a variety or lab testing panels that identify multiple deficiencies in your body and opportunities to treat them.
