NutraEval Test (Blood & Urine)
It’s the most comprehensive nutritional test available on the market. It evaluates over 125 biomarkers. It assesses the body’s functional need for 40 antioxidants, essential fatty acids including omega 3:6 balance, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, digestive support, mitochondria and energy production, methylation and detoxification and other select markers for optimal health.
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
Common health conditions
- Depression
- Heart disease
- Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes
- Fatigue
- Weight issues
- General dietary guidance
- Malnutrition (often observed in the elderly)
- Maldigestion/Malabsorption related to the gut
- Athletic performance
- Physical trauma/healing
- You are on HRT, consider HRT or you want to improve menopause related symptoms.
Analytes:
The NutrEval 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 include antioxidants glutathione (whole blood) and Coenzyme Q10 (serum), as well as the oxidative damage markers lipid peroxides and 8-OHdG (urine)
- 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
- Essential and Metabolic Fatty Acids Markers (RBCs) Acids
- 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 metabolise omega 6’s and omega 3’s
- Cardiovascular Risk includes specific ratios and the Omega 3 Index
- Elemental Markers
- Nutrient Elements are direct measurements of copper and zinc (plasma), magnesium and potassium (RBC), and manganese and selenium (whole blood)
- Toxic Elements (whole blood) indicate exposure to lead, mercury, arsenic or cadmium within approximately a 90-120 day timeframe
- Additional 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
