Request an AppointmentWhat Are Personalized Nutrients?
No two digestive systems are exactly alike. Genetics, diet, medications, stress, the gut microbiome, and conditions that affect absorption all influence which nutrients your body needs and how well it can use them. Personalized nutrients are vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and botanical recommendations chosen specifically for you based on your history, symptoms, and laboratory results rather than a generic multivitamin approach.
At LA Integrative Gastroenterology & Nutrition, personalized nutrient support is part of our broader nutritional services. Your doctor uses findings from your consultation, analytical testing, and, when appropriate, genomic decoding to determine which nutrients may help correct deficiencies, calm inflammation, and support healing of the digestive tract.
Who Can Benefit From Personalized Nutrient Support?
Patients with digestive conditions are especially prone to nutrient gaps because inflammation, bacterial overgrowth, and damage to the intestinal lining can interfere with absorption. Personalized nutrients may be helpful if you are dealing with:
- Ongoing fatigue or low energy linked to malabsorption
- SIBO, dysbiosis, or recurring gut infections
- Food sensitivities or restrictive diets that limit nutrient intake
- Colitis or other inflammatory gut conditions
- Gastritis or low stomach acid that affects digestion of protein and minerals
- Recovery goals related to inflammation control, oxidative stress, or healthy aging
How Your Nutrient Plan Is Created
Your plan begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms, diet, current supplements, and medications. Your doctor may order lab work to assess nutrient levels, markers of inflammation, and digestive function. Based on these findings, you receive specific recommendations for which nutrients to take, in what form, and for how long. Recommendations are coordinated with your customized nutrition plan and any therapeutic diet, such as a targeted digestive disorder diet or the elemental diet.
Because quality matters, our physicians recommend professional-grade nutraceutical supplements from trusted manufacturers. Patients can conveniently order supplements through our website, and we encourage you to upload your current supplements before your appointment so your doctor can review them.
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments
Nutrient needs change as your digestion heals. Follow-up visits allow your doctor to review progress, recheck labs when needed, and adjust your plan so you take only what is helpful. This focused approach avoids unnecessary supplements and supports long-term digestive health.
Personalized Nutrients FAQs
How are personalized nutrients different from a regular multivitamin?
A standard multivitamin provides the same general formula for everyone. Personalized nutrient recommendations are based on your symptoms, history, and lab results, so you receive the specific nutrients and forms your body needs.
Do I need lab testing to get personalized nutrient recommendations?
Lab testing is often recommended because it shows which nutrients are low and helps guide dosing. Your doctor will decide which tests are appropriate based on your evaluation.
Can digestive conditions cause nutrient deficiencies?
Yes. Conditions such as SIBO, colitis, celiac disease, and gastritis can reduce absorption of iron, B12, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, and other nutrients.
Can I keep taking my current supplements?
Bring a complete list or upload your supplements before your visit. Your doctor will review them and let you know what to continue, adjust, or stop.
Where can I buy the supplements you recommend?
You can order professional-grade supplements through our website, and our team can help you find the specific products in your plan.
Are personalized nutrients part of a larger treatment plan?
Yes. Nutrient support works alongside your nutrition plan, lifestyle changes, and any medical treatment your doctor recommends.
