Hi everyone, Drupal here. There's a key nutrient out there that's connected to almost every single

0:06.4

major chronic disease that people are suffering from and daily symptoms that a lot of people are suffering from,

0:12.9

including sleeplessness, muscle cramping, and even lack of focus. This key nutrient is so essential

0:22.3

that is responsible for over 600, 600 enzymatic reactions in the body. That means when you don't have it,

0:30.4

there's 600 things that aren't happening or aren't happening as efficiently. And by the way,

0:36.6

get this. In North America, 60% of people are not getting enough of this key nutrient. What is it?

practitioners had to order from multiple labs to get a comprehensive assessment for each

and every single patient. I'm sure many of you can relate to how time consuming this process is

1:51.3

functional medicine practitioners to access more than 2000 specialty lab tests from over 20 labs
