Metabolomix + (Urine)
It’s advanced nutritional test very similar to NutraEval with the advantage of being collected entirely at home.
It includes markers to assess antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins & minerals, digestive support, mitochondria and energy production, methylation and detoxification.
Comparing it to NutraEval, the main difference is that Metabolomix+ doesn’t include essential fatty acids, toxic elements, glutathione, CoQ10 and blood plasma minerals
Sample report:
Who is it for?
This is a great choice if:
- A. You look to fully optimise your health or athletic performance
- B. You struggle with range of health issues and symptoms despite trying different diets or supplements: low energy and fatigue, mood disorders and anxiety, and chronic inflammatory conditions
Analytes:
The Metabolomix + report categorises results into several metabolic areas (see sample reports in the Support Materials for individual analytes):
- Organic Acids (urine)
- Malabsorption and Bacterial/ Yeast Dysbiosis Markers are metabolites produced by the gastrointestinal microbiome
- Cellular Energy & Mitochondrial Metabolites are biomarkers of carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism, and the citric acid (Kreb’s) cycle
- Neurotransmitter Metabolites are downstream byproducts of epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine
- Vitamin Markers are specific analytes used to assess functional levels of vitamin cofactors
- Toxin & Detoxification Markers relate to certain toxic metabolites and the body’s detoxification capacity
- Oxalate Markers relate to kidney stone formation, oxidative stress and metabolic dysfunction
- Oxidative Stress Markers includes the oxidative damage markers lipid peroxides and 8-OHdG (urine). It doesn’t include antioxidants glutathione and Coenzyme Q10 (those are included in NutraEval only)
- Amino Acids
- Essential Amino Acids must be derived from dietary sources
- Nonessential Amino Acids are synthesised by the body
- Intermediary Metabolites are byproducts of amino acid metabolism
- B Vitamin Markers are involved in biochemical reactions that specifically require B vitamins
- Urea Cycle Markers are byproducts associated with nitrogen (ammonia) detoxification
- Glycine/Serine Metabolites are involved in the serine-to-choline pathway and the methylation pathways
- Dietary Peptide Related Markers can indicate incomplete protein breakdown and meat intake
- Available Add ons:
- Add-on Vitamin D (serum) measures a total of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 (ergocalciferol)
- Add-on SNPs (buccal swab) include MTHFR, COMT, TNF-a, and APOE
- Add-on Essential Fatty Acids (whole blood): omega 3-6-9 and other metabolic fatty acid markers
What else is included?
- Blood test analysis & interpretation
- 20 min zoom session to walk you through the results and the next steps
