Quick Description: One of the most valuable single tests a human can take to assess nutritional status and multiple functions of metabolism, energy production, inflammation, and detoxification.
Recommended for:
- Fatigue
- Muscle weakness
- Poor exercise recovery
- Weight abnormalities
- Sluggish metabolism
- Sleep issues
- Mood changes
- Bloating / gas
- Autoimmune disorders
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Brain fog
- Inflammation
- Chronic health issues even when conventional lab tests come back “normal”
Properties
Indications
The Metabolomix+® Comprehensive Profile is perhaps the most valuable single test you can take because it provides an incredible amount of information on many aspects of physiology and metabolism, such as nutritional status, energy production, fat and carb metabolism, detoxification, brain function, oxidative stress, inflammation, and microbial infections. A single urine sample + bloodspot sample is all that’s required for this uniquely valuable metabolic test. The sample is taken in the privacy of your home and then express-mailed back to the lab for analysis.
The Metabolomix+® Comprehensive nutritional test is valuable for determining:
- Functional vitamin and mineral status
- Amino acid insufficiencies like carnitine and NAC
- Oxidative damage and antioxidant need
- Phase I & Phase II detoxification capacity
- Functional B-complex vitamin need
- Neurotransmitter metabolites
- Mitochondrial energy production
- Methylation sufficiency
- Lipoic acid and CoQ10 status
- Markers for bacterial and yeast overgrowth
- Fatty acid insufficiencies
Ingredients
The Metabolomix+® Test also measures carbohydrate metabolism. If you have fatigue, weight loss issues, or poor blood sugar control, or if you’re an athlete wanting to optimize performance, you’ll find this section invaluable.
Bacterial Infections and Yeast overgrowth
Bacterial and yeast infections are causes of systemic inflammation and are prime suspects for digestive problems, UTIs, brain fog, skin disorders, fatigue, anxiety, and many other health issues. The Metabolomix+® Test provides insight on whether or not these infections are an issue for you.
Neurotransmitters
The Metabolomix+® Test measures the metabolites of the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and adrenaline. This can help to identify the cause behind brain and mood issues like anxiety, depression, brain fog, disrupted concentration, poor memory, and insomnia.
Essential and Metabolic Fatty Acids Markers
Omega 3 Fatty Acids are essential for brain function and cardiovascular health and are anti-inflammatory
Omega 6 Fatty Acids are involved in the balance of inflammation
Omega 9 Fatty Acids are important for brain growth, nerve cell myelin, and reducing inflammation
Saturated Fatty Acids are involved in liproprotein metabolism and adipose tissue inflammation
Monounsaturated Fats include omega 7 fats and unhealthy trans fats
Delta-6 Desaturase Activity assesses efficiency of this enzyme to metabolize omega 6’s and omega 3’s
Cardiovascular Risk includes specific ratios and the Omega 3 Index
