Discount Prices for Micronutrient & Cardiovascular Testing – Limited Time!
by Margo Gladding | January 16, 2013
Two of SpectraCell’s most popular tests, their micronutrient test and their comprehensive cardiovascular test, are now available through Village Green at special rates for a limited time.

If you are interested in this testing but do not live locally in our area, we can ship the test kits to you and provide you with blood draw sites.
