Add-on SNPs (buccal swab) include MTHFR, COMT, TNF-a, and APOE. Add-on Vitamin D (serum) measures a total of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). Toxic Elements (whole blood) indicate exposure to lead, mercury, arsenic or cadmium within approximately a 90-120 day timeframe. Nutrient Elements are direct measurements of copper and zinc (plasma), magnesium and potassium (RBC), and manganese and selenium (whole blood). Cardiovascular Risk includes specific ratios and the Omega 3 Index. Delta-6 Desaturase Activity assesses efficiency of this enzyme to metabolize omega 6’s and omega 3’s. Monounsaturated Fats include omega 7 fats and unhealthy trans fats. Saturated Fatty Acids are involved in liproprotein metabolism and adipose tissue inflammation. Omega 9 Fatty Acids are important for brain growth, nerve cell myelin, and reducing inflammation. 
Omega 6 Fatty Acids are involved in the balance of inflammation.
Omega 3 Fatty Acids are essential for brain function and cardiovascular health and are anti-inflammatory.Essential and Metabolic Fatty Acids Markers (RBCs).Dietary Peptide Related Markers can indicate incomplete protein breakdown and meat intake.Glycine/Serine Metabolites are involved in the serine-to-choline pathway and the methylation pathways.Urea Cycle Markers are byproducts associated with nitrogen (ammonia) detoxification.B Vitamin Markers are involved in biochemical reactions that specifically require B vitamins.Intermediary Metabolites are byproducts of amino acid metabolism.Nonessential Amino Acids are synthesized by the body.Essential Amino Acids must be derived from dietary sources.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).Oxalate Markers relate to kidney stone formation, oxidative stress and metabolic dysfunction.Toxin & Detoxification Markers relate to certain toxic metabolites and the body’s detoxification capacity.Vitamin Markers are specific analytes used to assess functional levels of vitamin cofactors.Neurotransmitter Metabolites are downstream byproducts of epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine.Cellular Energy & Mitochondrial Metabolites are biomarkers of carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism, and the citric acid (Kreb’s) cycle.Malabsorption and Bacterial/ Yeast Dysbiosis Markers are metabolites produced by the gastrointestinal microbiome.
Interpretation-At-A-Glance pages provide nutritional educational support for you and your patient highlighting the function of each nutrient, cause of deficiency, complications of deficiency and food sources of the nutrient. Nutrient Need Overview with recommendations for antioxidants, B-vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, GI support, and amino acids. Functional Imbalance Scores in areas of methylation, toxic exposure, mitochondrial dysfunction, fatty acid imbalances, and oxidative stress. Personalized Results Overview and Nutrient Need Overview. The NutrEval report categorizes results into several metabolic areas (see sample reports in the Support Materials for individual analytes): *Testing is not performed in patients under 2 years old. Malnutrition (often observed in the elderly). Obesity/ Insulin resistance/ Type 2 Diabetes. Common clinical indications for testing include: Correcting these imbalances can result in optimized health and well-being of your patients. Nutritional imbalances are often root cause contributors to disease. Which patients might benefit from functional nutritional testing?Īccording to the World Health Organization, every country in the world is affected by one or more forms of malnutrition. We also offer the Metabolomix+, a similar profile that can be collected entirely at home – no blood draw required. The NutrEval Plasma and NutrEval FMV (first morning void) differ based on which sample type is used to measure amino acids, plasma or urine. Functional pillars with a built-in scoring system guide the need for therapeutic support in areas of methylation, toxic exposure, mitochondrial dysfunction, fatty acid imbalances, and oxidative stress. Personalized recommendations for nutrients are determined by using an algorithm based on your patient's test findings. The NutrEval ® is both a blood and urine profile that evaluates over 125 biomarkers and assesses the body's functional need for 40 antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, digestive support, and other select nutrients.
