Most doctors run standard serum blood tests, see a "normal" nutrient level, and send you home. But measuring floating nutrients in your liquid serum is like looking at the paint on a house to see if the plumbing works inside. After reviewing over 40,000 advanced intracellular vitamin lab panels, the truth is clear: intracellular glutathione vs serum levels tell two entirely different stories. Your serum can look completely fine while your cells are completely depleted of the master antioxidant needed to protect your life. The Cytokine Threat When methylation breaks down and homocysteine elevat
Coming soon: the DRP Genetic Cytokine Panel.
This panel looks at 90 different cytokine gene SNPs. If even one of those SNPs is homozygous, it can drive major inflammatory issues that never fully settle with standard care.

Use your zinc, total copper, and ceruloplasmin blood results to estimate NCC and the copper:zinc ratio.
How this estimate works
This uses the formula in Dr. Purser’s handout: NCC (µg/dL) = total copper (µg/dL) − 3 × ceruloplasmin (mg/dL). NCC percentage = NCC ÷ total copper × 100. Copper:zinc ratio = total copper ÷ zinc, using the same units.
Calculated NCC is an estimate. Test methods and how much copper is bound to ceruloplasmin can affect it. It differs from a direct lab measurement of labile or exchangeable copper. It cannot diagnose fibromyalgia or copper toxicity, or choose treatment for you. Read about the limits of calculated NCC at Mayo Clinic Laboratories ↗
