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. Personalized recommendations for nutrients are determined by using an algorithm based on your patient's test findings. 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. 

About the NutrEval Profile

The NutrEval report categorizes results into several metabolic areas (see sample reports in the Support Materials for individual analytes):

• Personalized Results Overview and Nutrient Need Overview 
  • Functional Imbalance Scores in areas of methylation, toxic exposure, mitochondrial dysfunction, fatty acid imbalances, and oxidative stress
  • Nutrient Need Overview with recommendations for antioxidants, B-vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, GI support, and amino acids
  • 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
• Organic Acids (urine) 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)
  • 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

• Amino Acids 
  • Essential Amino Acids must be derived from dietary sources
  • Nonessential Amino Acids are synthesized by the body
  • Intermediary Metabolites are byproducts of amino acid metabolismDietary Peptide Related Markers can indicate incomplete protein breakdown and meat intake
    • 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
• Essential and Metabolic Fatty Acids Markers (RBCs)
  • 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
• 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

Meta-Omics Analysis is an integrative approach that combines in-depth analysis of the microbiome along with an advanced understanding of genomics, ionomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, environmental toxins, physiology, and nutrition in order to advance human health. Instead of trying to oversimplify the complexity of the human body, Meta-Omics seizes upon the opportunity to utilize the most up-to-date analytics in order to provide an integrative holistic picture of the state of health in the body.

We utilize testing of the genetics, metabolome (cellular byproducts and nutrient levels), microbiome, hair analysis for ionomics (minerals/elements), and toxic burden, along with an in-depth assessment of each person's health history (including ancestral), to arrive at a more complete picture of where the body stands currently. Each of these assessments by themselves are informative, but together, they represent the most complete diagnostic evaluation possible. To our knowledge, we are the only ones offering such an integrated analysis based on thousands of hours of research and discovery.
