Metabolomix+

Overview

The Metabolomix+ is a comprehensive, non-invasive nutritional test that provides a personalized analysis of key nutritional biomarkers. By evaluating your body's functional need for antioxidants, B-vitamins, minerals, and more, this at-home test kit empowers you and your practitioner to create targeted nutritional therapies for optimal health.

What's Tested

The Metabolomix+ profile assesses a broad range of biomarkers to provide a deep understanding of your nutritional status. The core test uses a simple urine sample to analyze:

• Organic Acids: Markers for malabsorption, gut dysbiosis, cellular energy production, neurotransmitter metabolism, and detoxification capacity.
• Amino Acids: A full panel of essential and non-essential amino acids to evaluate dietary protein adequacy and metabolic function.
• Oxidative Stress: Markers that reveal damage from free radicals and the state of your antioxidant reserves.

Optional add-on modules allow for even deeper insights using a bloodspot finger stick and buccal swab:

• Essential & Metabolic Fatty Acids: Measures Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 fatty acids, as well as saturated and monounsaturated fats to assess inflammatory balance and cardiovascular risk.
• Comprehensive Urine Elements: Screens for 18 toxic heavy metals and 14 essential mineral elements.
• Genetic SNPs: Analyzes key genetic variations including MTHFR, COMT, TNF-a, and APOE to understand predispositions in methylation and other key pathways.

Who Should Order

This test is ideal for individuals seeking to optimize their nutritional status and address the root causes of chronic health complaints. It is particularly beneficial for those experiencing:

• Mood disorders, such as depression or anxiety
• Persistent fatigue and low energy
• Chronic stress and inflammation
• Digestive issues
• Known or suspected nutrient deficiencies
• Complex chronic illnesses like cardiovascular disease, neurocognitive decline, and diabetes

How It Works

The Metabolomix+ test is designed for convenient at-home collection. After your practitioner orders the test, a collection kit is shipped directly to your home. The process involves a simple first-morning urine collection, and if you've chosen the add-on panels, a quick bloodspot finger stick and buccal (cheek) swab. All materials, including prepaid return shipping, are included in the kit. Once the lab receives your sample, results are typically available within 14 days for your practitioner to review with you.
