Description
Amino Acids Analysis nutritional test:
- Employs state-of-the-art high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to perform the most comprehensive and sensitive assay available
- Utilizes 24-hour urine, first morning void (FMV) or fasting plasma
- Measures more than 40 analytes, providing information related to a wide spectrum of metabolic and nutritional disorders such as:
- Protein inadequacy
- Gastrointestinal imbalances
- Inflammatory responses
- Detoxification impairments
- Chronic fatigue
- Cardiovascular disease
- Ammonia toxicity
- Food and chemical sensitivities
- Depression or behavioral disorders, including autism and ADHD
- Neurological dysfunction
- Inborn errors of metabolism
Clinical utility of the Amino Acids Analysis nutritional test:
Measured biomarkers are grouped on the report into functional categories. These include:
- Nutritionally essential and semi-essential amino acids
- Dietary peptide-related markers
- Non-essential protein amino acids
- Intermediary metabolites and diagnostic markers
A Supplementation Schedule is provided with the report, along with suggested replacement amounts. This schedule can then be used by a compounding pharmacist to formulate a customized blend of amino acids for the patient.
In addition, an Interpretation at a Glance is provided with each report. Although extensive commentary accompanies the report, this practical guide allows the practitioner to quickly spot problem areas in the patient. Scores for the likelihood of vitamin and mineral insufficiencies as well as defects in particular organ systems are listed.
