The NutrEval test evaluates over 100 biomarkers. It assesses the body’s functional need for 40 antioxidants, essential fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and digestive support, as well as other nutrients and markers including toxic minerals and digestive markers.
Test Panels and Marker Insights
Organic Acids (Urine)
•Malabsorption & Dysbiosis Markers: Indicators of bacterial and yeast imbalances in the gut microbiome.
•Cellular Energy & Mitochondrial Markers: Biomarkers reflecting carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism, and the citric acid (Krebs) cycle.
•Neurotransmitter Metabolites: Downstream byproducts of serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.
•Vitamin Markers: Functional indicators of vitamin cofactor levels.
•Toxin & Detoxification Markers: Assess the body’s ability to process and detoxify harmful substances.
•Oxalate Markers: Linked to kidney stone formation, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysfunction.
•Oxidative Stress Markers: Includes glutathione (whole blood), Coenzyme Q10 (serum), and oxidative damage markers such as lipid peroxides and 8-OHdG (urine).
Amino Acids (Plasma or Urine)
•Essential Amino Acids: Obtained through diet and critical for protein synthesis.
•Nonessential Amino Acids: Produced naturally by the body.
•Intermediary Metabolites: Byproducts of amino acid metabolism.
•B Vitamin Markers: Reflect the functional status of B vitamins in biochemical reactions.
•Urea Cycle Markers: Linked to nitrogen (ammonia) detoxification.
•Glycine/Serine Pathway Markers: Involved in methylation and serine-to-choline metabolism.
•Dietary Peptide Markers: Assess incomplete protein digestion and dietary intake of meat.
Essential and Metabolic Fatty Acids (RBCs)
•Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Vital for brain and cardiovascular health; anti-inflammatory.
•Omega-6 Fatty Acids: Support inflammation balance.
•Omega-9 Fatty Acids: Aid brain development, nerve health, and inflammation reduction.
•Saturated Fatty Acids: Linked to lipoprotein metabolism and adipose tissue inflammation.
•Monounsaturated Fats: Include omega-7 fats and unhealthy trans fats.
•Delta-6 Desaturase Activity: Evaluates enzyme efficiency in metabolising omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
•Cardiovascular Risk Markers: Includes Omega-3 Index and specific fatty acid ratios.
Elemental Markers
•Nutrient Elements: Direct measurements of essential minerals like copper, zinc, magnesium, potassium, manganese, and selenium.
•Toxic Elements: Identifies recent (90-120 day) exposure to harmful metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium.
