Testing can address a wide range of patient concerns, from chronic health conditions to health optimisation and peak performance.
The only nutritional testing of its kind – combines several methodologies and biomarkers providing you with the most comprehensive nutritional assessment available.
Dynamic reporting allows for easy interpretation and clinically actionable results.
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. Personalised 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.
We also offer the Metabolomix+, a similar profile that can be collected entirely at home – no blood draw required.
According to the World Health Organization, every country in the world is affected by one or more forms of malnutrition.[1] Nutritional imbalances are often root cause contributors to disease. Correcting these imbalances can result in optimised health and well-being of your patients.
*Testing is not performed in patients under 2 years old.
The NutrEval report categorises results into several metabolic areas (see sample reports in the Support Materials for individual analytes):
Additional Nutrition Profiles:
Genova’s unique approach to nutritional testing begins by assessing the body’s biochemical pathways. Marked accumulation of organic acids or amino acids in urine can signal a metabolic inhibition or block. The metabolic block may be due to a nutrient deficiency, an inherited enzyme deficit, toxin build-up, or drug effect. Enzymes that are responsible for metabolising organic acids and amino acids are vitamin and mineral dependent. With this, elevations in organic acids or amino acids can reflect a functional need for these nutrients on a cellular and biochemical level, even despite normal serum levels.[27,28,29,30,31] Recommendations for nutrient supplementation based on results are generated using a literature-based proprietary algorithm.
Traditionally, urinary organic and amino acid assessment has been used in neonatal/pediatric medicine to identify genetic inborn errors of metabolism, with severity depending on the degree and type of error.* In many cases of genetic inborn errors, the enzymatic defect may be compensated for by high doses of specific vitamin and mineral cofactors and/or dietary interventions. Intervention with higher-dose nutrient cofactors may also be effective in cases of decreased enzyme activity due to causes other than frank inborn errors.
There are various methods of assessing nutrient status, including intracellular and extracellular direct measurement, and measuring biochemical pathway markers. The NutrEval utilises all of these methods, making it the only nutritional profile of its kind.
* Genova’s organic acid testing is not intended for the diagnosis of neonatal inborn errors of metabolism.
