Unfortunate change. Miss the ability to order specific micronutrients

The ability to order specific micronutrients is one of the reasons I frequently order from Vibrant. It is cost-prohibitive for patients to have to order a complete micronutrient panel. I often peronalize panels to create an order that best suits the patient (and makes it more affordable for them). It is unnecessary to order a complete panel (including amino acids, minerals, etc) when we are tracking specific nutrients that were out of range. Please bring back the ability to create personalized panels by allowing us the ability to choose specific micronutrients without the more expensive full nutrient panel. THANK YOU!

We have put together a specialized panel that we use with all of our lab patients and it has included the RBC magnesium. It is a valuable marker. Now, with the change, all that we can order is the regular magnesium, which doesn't give any important information. It is really discouraging when Vibrant makes changes that impair the doctor's ability to cost-effectively test patients while getting the necessary information.
